"Signal Integrity: Practical Mastery of High Speed Design and Test"
Shimon Amir, Consultant and Financier
11 Oxford Street, LISE 303
"Signal integrity or SI is a measure of the quality of an electrical
signal. In either a digital stream of binary values is represented by a
voltage (or current) waveform or an rf-modulated channel signals
degrade over distance. Over short distances and at low bit rates, a
simple conductor can transmit this with sufficient fidelity. However,
at high bit rates and over longer distances, various effects can
degrade the electrical signal to the point where errors occur, and the
system or device fails. Signal integrity engineering is the task of
analyzing and mitigating these impairments." This talk will describe the
SI tools available to designers and experimentalists to improved
designs and collect accurate data. Real-life examples will be discussed.
