TINLEY PARK, IL – During a networking event at the PCB East 2008 conference, attendees had the opportunity to meet well-respected PCB industry authors. Charles Pfeil, Mentor Graphics, a conference speaker and columnist for Printed Circuit Design and Fab, distributed signed copied of his recently released book, BGA Breakout and Routing. The 165-page book, published by Mentor Graphics, looks at high pin-count BGAs, and provides solutions to the design challenges presented by implementation of this growing technology.

Ralph Morrison presented his book, Grounding and Shielding – Circuits and Interference, 5^th Edition. This edition shows designers how to use basic principles to solve problems related to signal and energy transfer on circuit boards. The book is the basis of a two day course on digital circuits and digital systems presented at PCB East. 

Clyde F. Coombs, Jr. talked about the latest update to The Printed Circuits Handbook, 6^th Edition. The 1350-page book includes many new and revised chapters covering the latest in PCB technology from HDI fabrication to managing the RoHS lead-free initiative.
