In Part 2 we related the impact on signal quality to some possible real-world basic signal and shield grounding choices (both the good and the bad). But, even in that brief discussion, it is clear ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
