How to Determine Oscilloscope Signal Integrity
eBooks
Signal integrity continues to be a hot topic in the electronics world. Today’s designs have shrinking margins and increasing data rates, which means measurements must be more accurate than ever. Every oscilloscope vendor has some sort of pitch around signal integrity: highest number of ADC bits, lowest noise floor, fastest sample rate, and the list goes on. While all these specifications are important, it is critical to understand the entire measurement system and not base your decision on just one of these specifications.
Educating yourself on what each of these specifications really means for your design saves you loads of time and heartache while testing. You’ll know exactly what you need to be looking for to determine true signal integrity.
