This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. High-speed serial interfaces are the primary I/O architecture of most of today’s communications products. Virtually all ...

The relentless demand for massive amounts of data is accelerating the pace of high-performance computing (HPC) within the high-speed Ethernet realm. This escalation, in turn, intensified the ...

This rule of thumb enables us to estimate how much attenuation would be in the loss budget of a serial channel. Spoiler summary:With no equalization, about -10 dB at the Nyquist. With just CTLE, about ...

Analyzing closed eye diagrams is tricky. The primary eye-closing culprit is inter-symbol interference ISI), which is caused by the frequency response of the channel. I’ve written about closed eye ...

Transmitting high-speed data over a cable or printed-circuit-board (PCB) path will significantly attenuate and distort the signal. Transmission paths are usually transmission lines that introduce ...
