  Grundlagen der Signal- und Powerintegrität
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. habil. Ndip, Ivan
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students are acquainted with root causes of signal and power integrity (SIPI) issues in electronic systems as well as with basic electromagnetic field and circuit concepts for analysis of SIPI, especially in high frequency/high-speed systems. They not only know how to acquire scientific knowledge but are also able to place physical phenomena into a more general context while exploring links between the different topics. In addition, students possess personal skills such as the capability for teamwork, precise reasoning, perseverance and openmindedness.
Contents:
  • Introduction to signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI)
  • Signal distribution networks (SDNs) and power distribution networks (PDNs) in electronic systems
  • Role of electronic packaging and heterogeneous integration technologies on signal and power integrity (SIPI)
  • Basic electromagnetic field and circuit theories for SIPI
  • PI: Analysis of impedance, inductance and capacitance of PDNs
  • PI: Design methodology of PDNs – An overview
