Signal Integrity Analysis
Agilent EEsof EDA’s signal integrity analysis tool, ADS, provides the most complete solution for multigigabit/s chip-to-chip links such as PCI Express, DDR3, HDMI, USB 3.0, SAS, and 10G Ethernet.
Description
Hurdle the Multigigabit/s Barrier with the Most Complete Signal Integrity Analysis
Increasing consumer and business demand for digital entertainment and information transmission is driving the need for high-speed systems such as routers, servers, mass storage systems, and PCs. Chip-to-chip connections inside these systems have undergone an architectural shift from parallel busses to serializer/deserializer (SERDES) links called lanes. These serial links eliminate parallel bus clock skew and reduce the number of traces — advantages that come at the cost of large increases in bit rate on the remaining traces. At multigigabit per second data rates and with channel flight times longer than a bit period, signal integrity is a major concern. Under these conditions, high-speed analog effects, previously only seen in high frequency RF and microwave engineering, can impair the signal quality and degrade the bit error rate of the link.
Agilent EEsof EDA’s signal integrity solutions provide the most complete serial link analysis for standards such as Infiniband, PCI Express, RapidIO, DDR, HDMI, and 10 gigabit/s Ethernet. Agilent’s solutions enable you to dramatically reduce product design cycles by:
- Analyzing complete serial links by co-simulating individual components, each at its most appropriate level of abstraction: link-, circuit- or physical-level.
- Importing backplane S-parameter models accurately into transient simulations.
- Performing jitter diagnosis with the proven EZJIT Plus algorithm used in Agilent instruments.
