Great Britain #300 - DIFFERENTIAL PAIR DESIGN FOR 112 Gbps AND FASTER SYSTEMS

...systems will rely on up to 224 Gbps channels with PAM-4 modulation. Examples include data center architecture, servers, compute accelerators, and high-end applications in mil-aero. This presentation will show the fundamental theory and practical applications of designing differential interconnects for these very high data rates.
Topics to be covered include:

  • Examples of PCB stackups that can support routing in these systems
  • A full theory addressing transmission line design at high frequencies
  • Principles for via design beyond 5-10 GHz bandwidths
  • Noise and crosstalk involving differential pairs
  • Why it’s sometimes best to limit length tuning
  • SI factors such as mode conversion and reflections

Examples of real systems that were designed by the author and have entered volume manufacturing will be presented to illustrate these important concepts. Simulation examples will also be used to help illustrate the importance of certain design choices, and to illustrate some basic rules that help ensure signal integrity.

IDA STAGE

Track: Industrial Design

Søren X. Frahm 
CEO, Artlinco A/S  

 

Speaker Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen

Danish #311 - DESIGN SOM STRATEGISK VÆRKTØJ

...rolle i at skabe forbindelsen mellem teknologi og bruger. 
Det kræver en dyb forståelse af brugerens situation, kontekst, motivation, vaner, rutiner og behov at kunne skabe et produkt, der er let at bruge, er intuitivt og skaber værdi på kort og langt sigt – for kunde/bruger og virksomhed..
Ikke mange forbrugere har lyst til at købe en printplade, selvom den er nok så intelligent – og ikke mange vil købe et stykke plastik, som ikke kan noget.
Designerne har brug for at arbejde tæt sammen med elektronikbranchen for at skabe bedre, mere intuitive og bæredygtige produkter og elektronikbranchen har brug for designerne, for at skabe morgendagens salgssucceser.

Med udgangspunkt i cases fortæller Søren Frahm fra Artlinco A/S, hvordan samarbejde mellem designere og elektronikudviklere kan skabe unikke produkter, som gør en forskel for bruger og virksomhed – og samtidig kan danne grobund for nye forretningsmodeller og mere bæredygtighed.
Derudover løftes sløret for nogle af de værktøjer, der kan anvendes i udviklingsprocessen, så man kommer sikkert fra A til Å.

FUTURE STAGE

Track: 5G Edge Cloud

Lasse Dueholm
Field Service Engineer, Technicon A/S

Danish #315 - SÅDAN FLYTTES STYRINGEN AF FREMTIDENS PROCESSER FRA PLC TIL EDGE CLOUD

 ...Vi er! Hos Technicon har vi en vision om at gøre robot- og automatiseringsteknologi tilgængelig for alle, og med den nyeste 5G teknologi er det hurtigere og nemmere end nogensinde før at integrere og bruge disse teknologier.
Vi har været en del af det spændende projekt "5G Robot", hvor vi har samarbejdet med Aalborg Universitet, robotproducenter, automationsintegratorer og førende kunder inden for proces- og pharma-industrien. Gennem dette projekt har vi opnået værdifuld erfaring og indsigt i, hvordan 5G teknologi kan revolutionere vores brug af robotteknologi og automatisering.
En af de største udfordringer ved brugen af robotteknologi i dag er, at det typisk kun er for de få, der har den nødvendige ekspertise og økonomiske ressourcer. Vores mission er at ændre dette og gøre teknologien tilgængelig for alle. Med 5G teknologi vil det blive hurtigere og nemmere for integratorer og slutbrugere at konfigurere og forbinde robotter og automationssystemer.
Vi vil dele vores erfaringer fra 5G Robot-projektet og demonstrere, hvordan man kan flytte styringen af fremtidens processer fra PLC til edge cloud. Sammen kan vi skabe en verden, hvor robotteknologi ikke kun er for de få, men for de mange! 
Kom og hør, hvordan vi hos Technicon arbejder for at gøre robotteknologi mere tilgængelig for alle, og hvordan 5G teknologier kan hjælpe med at nå dette mål. Du vil blive inspireret af vores erfaringer fra "5G Robot"-projektet og lære mere om de spændende muligheder, som 5G teknologier kan åbne op for.
