The Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) courses provided a comprehensive foundation in high-speed design principles, covering essential topics like crosstalk, impedance matching, voltage ripple, and PDN design with a good balance between theory and practical application. Real-world examples and diagrams made complex concepts accessible, though both courses could benefit from more hands-on practice with simulation tools, detailed case studies, and additional resources for further learning.
Venkat was knowledgeable and approachable, effectively connecting theoretical material to real-world applications, especially in troubleshooting common SI and PI issues. Overall, these courses delivered valuable insights for professionals in PCB design and high-speed electronics, with opportunities for enhancement through extended sessions, interactive lab exercises, and deeper exploration of advanced topics like multi-layer PCB impacts on power integrity and high-density designs for modern applications..
