Fixing Signal Integrity Issues in Software

In this article, Donald Telian shares an excerpt from his new book, “Signal Integrity, In Practice,” exploring how optimizing SES both fixes problems and improves system performance. He posits it’s crucial for hardware and SI engineers to understand how to optimize SES; read on to see why he attributes such importance to it.

Which Discontinuities are Small Enough to Ignore?

Understanding and minimizing discontinuities is increasingly important as serial links become both shorter and faster. Applying the old edge rate to roundtrip relationship to the modern era, Donald Telian in this article offers a rule-of-thumb to help gauge which interconnect structures, and hence discontinuities, to care about – and to what degree.
