At DAC 2003 OEA International Invites You to Attend FREE High Speed Digital and RF Design Tutorials

Due to the popular demand at the last Design Automation Conference and to help educate DAC attendees who may not be familiar with advanced extraction methodologies, OEA International, the experts in parasitic extraction and analysis tools, will conduct FREE tutorials on how to control parasitics.

Morgan Hill, California - May 19, 2003. Designers are now faced with the additional burden of precisely interconnects modeling. This problem is compounded by the fact that most existing design tools do not properly model interconnects at higher frequencies and there is precious little related design experience available in the industry.
Due to the popular demand at the last Design Automation Conference and to help educate DAC attendees who may not be familiar with advanced extraction methodologies, OEA International, the experts in parasitic extraction and analysis tools, will conduct FREE tutorials on how to control parasitics. Tutorials will cover use of extraction techniques in high-performance designs and will be offered at OEAs demo suite daily during the conference.
Tutorials will include the following subjects:

1. Critical Net Design Extraction and Analysis
•   Incremental Extraction of Critical Paths
•   High Accuracy Clock Skew with Return Path Considerations
•   When to Consider Inductive Effects
•   How to Increase Confidence in Timing Closure
•   Interconnect Modeling with Inductance

2. On-Chip Inductor and RF Passive Component Design
•   Optimizing Passive Components
•   Frequency Dependent Effects
•   Substrate Modeling Effects
•   Designing the Right Inductor or Balun for Your Design
•   Simple but Highly Accurate Substrate Models

3. Power Network Distribution Networks Design Planning and Analysis
•   Minimizing Ground Bounce and Simultaneous Noise
•   High Speed IO Pin Placement and Package Analysis
•   Core Power Network Design Planning and Analysis
•   Optimizing Power and Ground Distribution
