EEcosystem Podcast Episodes

Robert Feranec discusses his journey from designing complex hardware to becoming a popular online educator through his YouTube channel and company, Fedevel academy. He discusses the vision he has for the new Fedevel Platform that is allowing engineering experts to share their knowledge and host their own online courses.

Did you ever wonder how Dr. Eric Bogatin went from PhD in Physics and ended up becoming a Signal Integrity guru? Eric talks about how he came up with a guide with 100+ PCB Design guidelines to Minimize SI problems, and offers this book to you courtesy of Teledyne LeCroy in celebration of the launch of the new EEcosystem Podcast. He talks briefly about why you need to pay close attention to your return current when you have a single-ended signal that’s transitioning from one layer to another, and he explains the best method to mitigate cross-talk. Learn about Eric’s role as Technical Editor of Signal Integrity Journal and learn about the new podcast he hosts called, SIJ FUNdamentals podcast. Lastly, stay tuned to learn more about a 1 1/2 day in-person training in Colorado with Eric Bogatin in late September. This event will be hosted by The EEcosystem and its parent company Impact Technology Marketing. More information is coming soon, so visit theeecosystem.com and we will post more details as they become available.

Matt Ozalas, Master Application Development Engineer, Scientist at Keysight Technologies discusses wireless technology trends and how that’s driving a holistic integrative approach between software and hardware. This approach gives design engineers far greater intelligence on front-end design choices increasing first-pass success.

In today’s episode we have a conversation with Steve McGeary of Samtec. He talks about technology drivers that have caused the lines between HS Digital and RF/MW to blur. Over the past 5-10 years this has driven Samtec into the RF/MW connector technologies to meet the demands of increasingly complex systems design

Steve Sandler discusses the tool he developed called the Non-Invasive Stability Measurement Tool and how he transformed his lecturing and the Picotest business through Covid and beyond. He also gives Engineers a few tips on how to continue to thrive in this post-covid era.

In this episode John Coonrod talks about multiple hidden factors that contribute to your PCB design simulations not matching the performance of your physical PCB, and offers some insights and tips to get better results.

In this episode, Randy White and Stephen Slater of Keysight Technologies join me to take a deep dive into DDR5 Memory and how to best design and simulate memory. We also talk about understanding and tapping into the full ecosystem that supports this technology that can help equip you to embrace memory design. (More on this subject will be covered in a Webinar hosted on September 13th. See link below).

Increasing frequencies and shrinking footprints that continue to emerge between RF connectors and PCBs require awareness around new design considerations and available solutions. In this conversation with Jim Alexander and Pete Robertson of Samtec, they offer critical insight and expertise relative to this subject matter. Samtec has shared a free downloadable white paper for The EEcosystem Community at https://theecosystem.com
