High Speed Interconnect Solutions Guide
 Sponsored by Rohde & Schwarz USA

The importance of high-speed interconnect solutions cannot be overstated. Whether powering the backbone of global telecommunications networks, accelerating the data processing capabilities of cloud computing infrastructure, or enhancing the performance of consumer electronics, these solutions are the foundation upon which modern connectivity is built. This eBook guide covers interconnect design challenges for 224G systems and PCIe 6.0 plus the various testing techniques needed to evaluate and test these systems. The introductory article also covers some history of how we have progressed from 1 Gbps NRZ to 224 Gbps PAM4 so is a nice perspective on the evolution of interconnect technology.

Identifying and Solving EMC/EMI Problems
 Sponsored by Rohde & Schwarz USA

The need to address EMC/EMI problems has never been more pressing. As electronic devices become smaller, faster, and more powerful, the potential for interference grows exponentially. It's no longer sufficient to simply design and build electronic systems without considering their EMC/EMI characteristics. Engineers, designers, and technicians must proactively identify and mitigate these issues to ensure that their products meet regulatory standards, perform reliably, and avoid costly setbacks. This eBook provides an understanding of the underlying principles, practical methodologies, and advanced techniques for dealing with EMC/EMI challenges. It is designed for both newcomers seeking a foundational knowledge of the subject and experienced professionals looking to deepen their expertise.

Getting the Jitter Out - High Speed Communications Timing Technology
 Sponsored by Skyworks Solutions, Inc.

High-speed digital communications have been adopted so quickly because of a variety of performance advantages. The signals are quantized and may be encoded, making them less susceptible to noise and interference, which also increases the acceptable transmit range. Complex modulation schemes increase spectral efficiency, allowing for higher data rates and errors can be detected and corrected with processing. However, these communications networks must accurately reconstruct the sampled incoming signal, making timing synchronization critically important. This eBook focuses on jitter, simply defined as any effect that causes signal threshold crossing times to deviate from their expected positions. The first article addresses the inter-relationships between jitter and other noise-generating mechanisms. The second explains the types and sources of jitter and the third looks at how jitter propagates through the channel. The final six articles in this eBook show Skyworks’ broad portfolio of frequency flexible timing products along with how they compare to and can be incorporated with solutions from six different suppliers.

End-to-End High-Speed Digital Design
 Sponsored by Keysight Technologies

High-speed digital links at 224 Gbps per lane, device miniaturization, and ultra-low power budgets result in sophisticated systems that are more complex to optimize signal integrity performance and reliability. Engineers require close collaboration and seamless flows from concept to simulation, emulation, and testing to keep up with technology's pace and meet shrinking time-to-market expectations.

This eBook covers how to connect design workflows to make end-to-end high-speed digital design a reality. It will discuss the challenges and trade-offs associated with optimizing design performance for technologies such as PCIe 6.0, USB4 Version 2.0, and USB-C, DDR5, and LPDDR.
