Understanding signal integrity basics is critical for engineers striving to create high-performance electronic systems. With a foundation in signal integrity basics, engineers can move forward in ...

Digital designs have not traditionally suffered by issues associated with transmission line effects. At lower frequencies the signals remain within data characterization and the system performs as ...

To achieve gains in power, performance, area, and cost, 3D-IC architectures are pushing electronics design to new limits. Silicon integration technology and associated devices have undergone an ...

Signal integrity is a critical design consideration in modern electronic systems, particularly those that depend on high-speed interconnects. As data rates climb and interconnect geometries become ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

Second , signal-integrity engineering requires attention to some details that are not obvious at first. As an example, solder-pad capacitance may become of utmost importance during system bring-up, ...

The “Special Report—Test Applications” in our January issue focuses on the software tools as well as logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, BERTs, phase-noise testers, spectrum analyzers, vector network ...
