This document describes the basics of signal integrity, behavior of transmission lines and compares the output edge rates of various logic devices. It also explains the causes of reflections on a ...

In Part 1, we explored the basic characteristics governing high-speed SerDes channels. This article focuses on real-world issues, such as parasitics and impedance mismatches, that require additional ...

In today’s high-speed digital designs, signal-integrity issues such as reflections, excessive losses, and crosstalk can degrade system performance. There are techniques through the use of time-domain ...

In a nutshell, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its growing list of applications demand a considerably large amount of bandwidth to push bits in and out of memory at the highest speeds possible. AI ...

Signal integrity (SI) is at the forefront of SoC and system designers’ thinking as they plan for upcoming high-speed GDDR6 DRAM and PHY implementations for automotive and advanced driver assistance ...

As a signal travels across a network, it focuses only on what it sees in its path. And increases in data rates over the past few decades have made this path a bit more clouded. System infrastructure ...

Signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) are two distinct but related realms of analysis concerned with proper operation of digital circuits. In signal integrity, the main concern is making sure ...
