Designing ICs on 0.13-micron and smaller process technologies poses tremendous challenges. The number of silicon failures caused by signal integrity problems is on the rise because existing design ...

Signal integrity will matter more in next-generationflash devices, and several changes in thetechnology will make managing signal integritymore critical. For example, data rates in these deviceswill ...

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 ...

LeCroy Corporation announced the launch of an extension to their signal integrity product line: Signal Integrity Studio (SI Studio). SI Studio is targeted to signal integrity engineers who want the ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss signal integrity with Rob Aitken, research fellow at ARM; PV Srinivas, senior director of engineering for the Place & Route Division of Mentor Graphics; ...

In order to guarantee a successful system power-up, Signal Integrity (SI) analysis must be a required element of the system implementation. Unfortunately, for some companies, an appreciation of SI ...

Today’s high-end field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with embedded transceivers support a variety of widely accepted serial protocol standards, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, XAUI and ...

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 ...

No gadget in this episode, I thought instead I’d write about a book I purchased recently. It is Eric Bogatin’s “Signal and Power Integrity — Simplified” second edition. Like most of you, I’ve got a ...

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 ...
