Hi, Frankly I would not bother, even if there was one. At the moment, Protel,DXP has no built in high speed design tools that work.
I'd suggest going on a generic course, which it sounds like you have already done. I went on one by TI. And then try looking at polar instruments SI8000 software tools. http://www.polarinstruments.com/ it even has a pay-per-view version that I find very useful. The problem is that Protel's signal integrity only has a basic textbook mathematical model of the board build up vs. impedance, and even then does not handle any but the most simple layer stacks and trace configurations. If you compare its predictions with Si8000, they can often be miles out. Protel can import IBIS models, but has no facility for smith charts and S parameters etc. Perhaps one day, Altium will get into bed with Polar, now that would be cool..... j. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Noftall Sent: 01 December 2005 15:15 To: [email protected] Subject: [PEDA] High-Speed digital simulation courses for Protel? Hi all; Does anyone know of a high speed digital design course for Altium designer, somewhere in North America (preferably near Vancouver)? We have been to other courses in the past, but they seem to be centered around competing products, so not much Altium info in them. Any help appreciated, thanks!
