 presenting the Keynote Address:

 

"What Happens When Things Get Fast...?"

 

 

  'In the presentation we take a real signal path from a super computer and run it slow... and then speed it up to show what happens to the signal in the way of degradation...

  Since I use a simulator to do this, I can remove skin effect loss, dielectric loss and other features one at a time, so the degradation caused by each one is made visible. The tricks needed to get signals to go fast are part of the presentation.  The final speed of the signal path is 5.2 Gb/S over 4 meters of cable... pretty fast and pretty long.' - Lee Ritchey, The Speeding Edge

Right the First Time Image       

 

Right the First Time, A Practical Handbook for High Speed PCB and System Design
is the premier publication of Speeding Edge. The book describes all of the principles involved in high-speed
design such as transmission line management, signal integrity, power subsystem design, PCB materials and EMI control. While geared towards engineering professionals, the book is of significant value to anyone making business decisions relative to designing and implementing high-speed systems.

[In December 1998, EE Times profiled Lee Ritchey in its People 98 section, characterizing him as "high-speed design's ratchet man," and stating that "anyone who wants to learn the ins and outs of high-speed board design can't do much better than to turn to Lee Ritchey..." Lee was one of 19 technical gurus recognized by EE Times as major drivers and innovators in their fields, specifically CAD/CAE tools for simulation and design of PCBs.]*

He is on the editorial review board for Printed Circuit Design Magazine and is a regular contributor of design articles to a variety of publications. He has taught his High Speed Design course to more than 3000 engineers and designers in several countries.
