Many systems fail to live up to expectations, frequently because of an implementation failure at the breakout region. In this blog, Travis Ellis, SI engineer at Samtec, discusses connector-to-board transitions and common impairments to their performance.

This article explores how signals are captured and converted from analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog in a lossless fashion. Read on.

In this paper, John Baprawski gives an overview of modeling SerDes systems in a channel simulator, introduces the zero-cost tools available at SerDesDesign.com, and gives an example of simulating a SerDes system with Tx and Rx IBIS-AMI models – all to bring the SI engineer a low cost path for modeling and simulating SerDes systems.
