2025 In the Lab with Eric Bogatin Best PCB Design & Measurement Practices Webinar Series

Join Teledyne LeCroy and Professor Eric Bogatin for this series of 60-minute webinars that describe how to design, build, test, measure and debug your assembled printed circuit board. These webinars serve as a springboard for further learning. Each topic will be explored further through a series of videos and coursework through the Teledyne LeCroy Signal Integrity Academy, available soon. Access the 2024 Series here

Part 12: Measuring and Controlling ESD Events

Date: Thursday, February 13, 2025
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric describes how to minimize electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrostatic damage to circuits in your lab, and how to use an Arduino-based E-field meter to allow you to measure the static fields from charged surfaces so that you can anticipate and plan for circuits that need additional protection.


Part 13: Four Tips to Reduce Noise Using Good Layout/Design Practices

Date: Thursday, April 10, 2025
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric describes using an oscilloscope in the most effective way possible by minimizing the noise from measurement artifacts and using best measurement practices to optimize SNR. Eric will describe common do’s and don’ts, how to optimize the signal into the oscilloscope, measuring signals correctly, and much more.


Part 14: Reducing the Need for Split-ground Planes Using Differential Signaling

Date: Thursday, June 12, 2025
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric describes why differential signaling is more robust and less sensitive to ground-plane noise than single-ended signaling, and how to measure ground-plane noise signal integrity problems in your PCB.


Part 15: Three Ways to Measure Current Draw and Inrush Current in Power Rails

Date: Thursday, August 14, 2025
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric describes three different techniques to measure the steady-state and inrush current in a board, which is easy to do with any oscilloscope. Measuring these currents is important when developing power budgets for your next design.


Part 16: The Role of Vias in Reducing Crosstalk

Date: Thursday, October 9, 2025
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric describes the root cause of noise generated when signals transition from one layer to another through vias in multilayer boards, and how to measure and reduce the noise and related signal integrity problems.


Part 17: When to Use Ferrites in the Power Distribution Network (PDN)

Date: Thursday, December 11, 2025
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric describes the proper use of ferrites in your board design, and typical mistakes (and their ramifications) when ferrites are misapplied.


Part 18: Best Measurement Practices to Get the Most Our of Your Passive Probes
Not yet open for registration

Date: Thursday, February 12, 2026
Time: 11:00AM Pacific | 2:00PM Eastern
Duration: 60 minutes

In this webinar, Eric provides practical guidance on when and how to use your passive probes so as to avoid introducing measurement artifacts.
