The RS-485 is a popular serial communications standard that’s widely used in industry. It’s flexible, with the ability to achieve high data rates on long bus cables. The standard is relatively easy to ...

Editor’s Note: Signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) are two critical topics in high-speed design and a major focus at DesignCon. I asked Mentor Graphics’ Pat Carrier to provide some ...

These days, there is a lot of noise about signal integrity and design integrity in deep-submicron system-on-chip designs. And there is a good reason: Shrinking processes and higher frequencies mean ...

Phase stability means reliable performance in specific test-and-measurement applications that call for a close match in frequency and phase between cables with low relative drift over temperature, ...

As every engineer learns at an early stage, clock edges must be obeyed. In the digital domain, synchronization through global and local clock trees, slew rate and rising/falling times all combine to ...
