Leslie Gomez
introduced our guest speaker and started introductions around the
room...
Rick Norfolk spoke to
the packed room for an hour on the issues faced by manufactures in
controlling impedance on printed circuit boards and gave the audience
insight into the process and pitfalls of communicating design intent
and getting the desired results. Hallmark has some great tools for
modeling board impedance and Rick encouraged designers to work with
their vendors to get the desired results rather than trying to specify
exact stack up combinations and tying the hands of the manufacturer.
Many layer
illustrations and construction details were covered in the
presentation. All in
attendance were very interested in the subject matter and many took
notes.
A 50/50 raffle was
held and the winner was Glenn Roger of Rokenbok Toy Co. who received
27 dollars prize money.
The remainder of the
pot went to the Christmas party fund.
Meeting adjourned at
9:00PM
We want to thank

meetings and for providing the drinks for our member visitors and
guests.
Thanks to all who attended for a great
meeting. Your involvement and support makes the San Diego Chapter a
valuable asset to the San Diego PCB Design community. We look forward
to seeing all of you at our next meeting!
