Signal Integrity

RSS

This article provides a unified equation and quick rule of thumb for signal integrity engineers to determine how long of a pattern can be captured using their oscilloscope. Read on. 

In part three of the Ultra-Fine Line Design Guide series, previously introduced methodology is used to explore the design space for a differential pair when the return plane is far enough away that coupling to it is negligible. Read on. 

This article by Donald Telian applies Eric Bogatin’s 0.3/Gbps rule of thumb to identify and prevent signal degradation due to stubs.

It’s all about the data. Loads and loads of data. How do you build a system to handle it? This article looks at interconnect options for the new PCI Express 6.0 specification: which interconnect system to choose, how to maintain signal integrity, and how to address design challenges.

As rated by reader views, here are the Top 5, Most Read Articles on SIJ of 2022. Thank you for your continued readership; we look forward to bringing you many more great technical features in 2023 and beyond!

In this article, Eric Bogatin shows you that with just six principles we can understand how an oscilloscope transforms time domain measurements into a frequency domain view.

In this series, experts extend the exploration of design space to ultra-fine line features. Read on. 

Many systems fail to live up to expectations, frequently because of an implementation failure at the breakout region. In this blog, Travis Ellis, SI engineer at Samtec, discusses connector-to-board transitions and common impairments to their performance.
