Masterclass LIVE: A Critical Paradigm Shift for Signal Integrity in Practice

Most factors that affect Signal Integrity are well-understood by many professional engineers. However, a whole new paradigm shift has emerged over the last twenty years as SI has moved ICs. SI Expert, Donald Telian has helped hundreds of engineers and companies working on thousands of designs around the globe to learn how to solve signal integrity in this new era of SI. Now, Telian is partnering with The EEcosystem to share this knowledge in a series of Masterclass LIVE workshops that are available to the public for the first time. In this episode, Telian explains what attendees can expect to learn and why learning in person with an experienced mentor is so critical for engineers to master these techniques and principles that can be applied immediately.
