Santa Clara, CA. DesignCon 2015 gets underway here today, with more than 100 technical paper sessions, panels, and tutorials planned throughout the week. According to show organizers, attendees will study theories, methodologies, applications, and advanced design tools related to signal and power integrity, jitter and crosstalk, test and measurement, parallel and memory interface design, and semiconductor component design.
Thomas H. Lee, professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, will deliver an opening keynote address titled “Go Big or Go Home: The First Transatlantic Telegraph Cable and the Birth of Electrical Engineering.” He’ll recount the failure of a medical doctor to manage the first effort in the 1850s and the ultimate success of William Thomson in 1866, leading to formal definitions of the volt, ampere, and ohm and the establishment of electrical engineering as a profession.
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons will offer exhibitors an opportunity to demonstrate their products. Keysight Technologies, the event originator (back in its HP and Agilent Technologies days) and ongoing sponsor, has listed several products it will exhibit and demonstrations it will perform.
“DesignCon consistently has shown to be a very important on-going event for the digital design and measurement community,” said Doru Popescu, Keysight’s market segment manager. “We are supporting the 20th anniversary of this major event with our largest presence ever, from booth size and extent of solutions, to the strength of experts on hand—including our authorized technology partner, Electro Rent Corp.”
This year at the conference, Keysight will feature 10 separate, 40-minute tutorials by Keysight industry experts on DDR4, LPDDR4, PAM-4, and 100G Ethernet.
Other exhibitors who have announced details of their DesignCon plans include Anritsu and Pickering Interfaces.
