Key Considerations for Successful High-Speed Board Design
Ujjwal Datt Sharma
Abstract: Successful high-speed board design requires more than meeting electrical and functional requirements. Engineers must make balanced decisions that affect performance, reliability, manufacturability, cost, and schedule across the full product lifecycle. This talk provides a practical overview of the key considerations that should guide high-speed board design from concept through implementation. It emphasizes the value of thoughtful early decisions in reducing downstream problems during validation and bring-up. Attendees will gain a broader understanding of how disciplined design practices can improve hardware quality and support smoother product development.
