Why Use SerDes Designer Bundle
A standards-driven, or standards-aware workflow is a key enabler for accelerating time-to-market, reducing late-stage design risks, and improving overall engineering productivity by increasing design confidence throughout the product development cycle. The SerDes Designer brings together the core strengths of the System Designer series, allowing USB, PCIe ®, and Ethernet Designer to be used within a single product solution. Maximize productivity with a smart design workflow, allowing a lean engineering team to handle multiple SerDes interfaces simultaneously with a single-license solution, offering a highly cost-effective path to high-performance designs and faster product-to-market.

High-speed digital design is a subset of electronic design that deals with the physical layer of digital circuits and communication systems operating at high data rates. It requires special attention to the effects of signal integrity, power integrity, electromagnetic interference, and thermal management. High-speed digital design can enable faster data transfer, lower power consumption, and higher performance in electronic systems.
Standards-driven design is an electronic design method that follows predefined specifications and protocols for communication, data exchange, and interoperability between different devices and systems. Standards-based design can facilitate compatibility, reliability, and scalability in electronic systems. Examples of standards-based design include USB, PCIe®, UCIe, and DDR.
Keysight EDA’s ADS SerDes design solution offers a comprehensive design and simulation platform that effectively streamlines the SerDes design workflow, empowering designers to overcome challenges, reduce time-to-market, and refine design iterations. It covers various SerDes standards, including PCIe®, USB, Ethernet, MIPI®, and more.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard for communication and power delivery between devices and hosts, such as computers, smartphones, cameras, and peripherals. USB supports various data rates, from 1.5 Mbps (USB 1.0) to 80 Gbps (USB4 Version 2.0). USB also supports different power delivery modes, from 2.5 W (USB 2.0) to 240 W (USB PD 3.1). USB4 Version 2.0 is the latest version of the standard and is backward compatible with USB 3.2, USB 2.0, and Thunderbolt 3.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a standard for high-speed serial communication between devices and hosts, such as computers, graphics cards, network cards, and storage devices. PCIe supports various data rates, from 2.5 GT/s (PCIe 1.0) to 64 GT/s (PCIe 6.0). The PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG®) defines specifications and compliance tests that guarantee the interoperability of PCIe systems. PCIe also supports different lane configurations, from x1 to x32, to increase bandwidth and performance.
