While the lossless characteristics of superconducting interconnect can trigger visions of tremendous bandwidths over infinite physical distances, superconductors have unique properties that can appreciably affect signal integrity in unexpected ways. This article introduces kinetic inductance from the eyes of signal integrity with the aim of preparing engineers to analyze superconducting links.

Recent studies indicate that the industry is nearing the precipice where plated through hole via technology has reached a limit in supporting serial links with 28 GHz Nyquist frequency requirements. At DesignCon2021, a team from the Mayo Clinic presented this paper about their work to extend the “life” of conventional PCB technology.
