In this series, experts extend the exploration of design space to ultra-fine line features. Read on. 

In this paper, Will McCaffrey examines the Analog Devices Inc. LTM4650A micro-module with an internal inductor, comparing the generated small-signal passive model from LTpowerCAD to a measured model using the LTM4650A evaluation board. 

This Best DesignCon paper demonstrates what happens when GRVs are too distant for the data rate at hand. Read on. 

What causes crosstalk? When does it become problematic? What can you do to ensure it does not ruin your product design? In this article, Donald Telian answers these questions and more.

This DesignCon paper analyzes the mathematical/theoretical issue in the previous interference tolerance test standards, and discusses two types of reference TX jitter parameters estimation methods to solve or alleviate the issue. Read on. 

This DesignCon paper concentrates on the diverse abilities of AWGs to generate the signals required for compliance to standards such as HDMI 2.1, MIPI C-PHY, MIPI D-PHY, and MIPI A-PHY. Read on. 

Incorporating the technique of using a quiet HIGH and quiet LOW I/O pin is a simple way of opening up a small window onto what is happening with the power rail of your die. Read on to have Eric Bogatin teach you how to implement it. 

This paper first gives an overview of high frequency aliasing issues in context with industry standard compliance testing, then discusses the anti-aliasing algorithm. Read on. 

This DesignCon 2022 paper presents a parametric ADC-based SerDes system modeling framework intended to support all project phases from architectural definition, through analog and digital design, to design validation.

This DesignCon 2022 paper focuses on the use of models for overall system validation, including both system models that evaluate the end-to-end link performance, and models used for individual block functionality to validate a mixed-signal design.
