Today’s high-speed digital interfaces have become more sensitive to signal reflections. The result is a need to characterize and suppress channel and component discontinuities. How do you select a characterization method between those called out in standards such as PCIe, IEEE 802.3, and USB? In a DesignCon 2022 paper, Steve Krooswyk, Hansel Dsilva, Richard Mellitz, Stephen Hall, Adam Gregory, Beomtaek Lee, and John Riley aim to explain each reflection standard in regard to its history, use … [Read more...]

Practical Ports for Perfect Performance – Pretend or Possible?
Enough of the letter "P" already. Message recieved. In any case, modeling and simulating next-gen 224 Gbps signal channels poses many challenges. Design engineers must optimize the entire signal path, not just a specific component. The signal path includes transceiver and receivers, die-to-packaging transitions, BGA breakout regions, PCB traces, connector breakout regions and interconnect. Any number of design decisions affect multi-gigabit per second channel data rate performance. As a … [Read more...]
Submer and Samtec: Smarter Connections
As we put 2020 in the rear view mirror, it's always a good time to look back. Here is a quick recap of a cool event: OCP Tech Week.
