Signal Integrity


To move to the next level in high-speed digital design, with sub-nanosecond edge rates and slim design margins, you must add additional problem solving tools to your trusty toolbox. The ubiquitous oscilloscope, though important, requires complementary software and/or instrumentation to adequately address today's difficult signal integrity and jitter issues.

Signal integrity is no longer something to be looked at just once at the beginning of a project when laying out the device or board. Everyone must be aware of signal integrity and evaluate it throughout the project, and must have the proper tools to accomplish this sometimes daunting task. The challenging high-speed digital designs of today’s data rates require careful use of a wide variety of engineering tools. It is important for designers to learn these new tools effectively to avoid multiple re-design efforts.
