Fundamentals of Signal Integrity
Fundamentals Course
January 2010
"There are two types of designers: Those that have signal-integrity problems.. and those that will." (Sun Microsystems). Odds are, if you're a designer, you fall into one of these categories, so this is the course for you!
Over the span of 45 minutes to 1 hour, test experts Steve Mulawski and John Ziegler of octoScope will provide a thorough understanding of what signal integrity is all about, from a basic definition to signal-integrity test and how to interpret and make proper use of an 'eye diagram' and today's test equipment to bring your design to a successful, trouble-free conclusion.
Along the way, through diagrams, photographs and video demonstrations, you'll be introduced bandwidth/amplitude accuracy, harmonics, edge-speed considerations, lumped-element circuits, impedance, transmission-line discontinuities, lossy lines, inter-symbol interference, jitter and the implications of oscilloscope bandwidth when making measurements.

Thanks for sharing. The presentation was very information from the perspective of choosing Tektronix tools. A suggestion I would like to see more slides on SI issues on PCB.

Hi Sheetal, glad you liked the course. For SI issues with PCBs, I'd recommend you take a look at Fundamentals of PCB Design here: http://www.eetimes.com/electrical-engineers/education-training/courses/4000356/Fundamentals-of-PCB-Design
Best regards,
Patrick

Excellent intro to SI. Wish more standards architects would watch this to understand issues confronting designers when they keep upping the bit rate of serial links. 100Gbps ?

That was real good talk on SI. For long I researched on internet about how to generate eye diagram but could not find good technical information. This brief talk explained me most of it.
We wish to more courses like this.
Is it possible to download presentation and keep it for future reference?
