Join EMA for a free reception and learn how the latest
Autodesk Data Management solutions can leverage innovation in your company.
Today's manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to squeeze every bit of value out of the assets and resources they possess. In this session, we will explore how today's leading manufacturers are leveraging the investments made in model-based data, extending that value across supply chains, and using emerging technologies to rethink the ways in which they deploy, access, and leverage design and engineering tools across their workforce. We will review how new cloud-based models of collaboration and lifecycle management deliver returns in fractions of the time required by more traditional solutions.
This event will take place immediately following the Design & Manufacturing New England tradeshow. The Westin is located directly across the street from the Massachusetts Convention Center; the two are attached via an easy-to-access sky bridge.

At this complimentary seminar & workshop, EMA & Cadence will remove the mystery around the black art of signal integrity analysis. We will reinforce the topics learned with real-life examples analyzed and solved right within the OrCAD design flow.
Signal quality problems are becoming an issue for almost all design teams dealing with digital interfaces on their boards. What was once referred to as "Black Magic" and relegated to a small group of SI specialists has now become an issue for a majority of PCBs designed today. Rules of thumb, while a good start, are not adequate to ensure a robust and cost effective design in today's market.
EMA and Cadence are pleased to host a series of live events geared to remove the mystery around the black art of signal integrity analysis. These events will put the most common causes of SI problems in designer friendly terms and provide practical tools to identify signal quality issues as well as effectively implement and test design strategies to solve them. You can sign up for one or both of these free sessions.
