While eye diagrams and eye masks are both useful, they each hide as much information as they reveal. Read on to see how to get the most out of them for your design.

In this detailed study of jitter, Vladimir Dmitriev-Zdorov considers its conversion into vertical noise and the propagation of this noise in a channel. It applies to many, if not all, linear systems. Read on to see his analysis as illustrated in both the frequency and time domains for small and large magnitude jitter.

The most notable difference between DDR5 and previous generations is the introduction of decision feedback equalization, a technique used in serial link systems to improve the integrity of received signals.  In the wake of the new technology, this short article outlines some of the fundamental signal integrity concepts in the context of DDR5.

This article lays out the basics of signal integrity problems, explains s-parameters, and identifies challenges in high-speed design.
