Course

Lesson 1 - Signal Integrity Issues

Introduces the concept of signal integrity and discusses the four steps for finding and solving signal integrity problems in high-speed digital designs.

Lesson 2 - Evaluating a Failing Channel with an Eye Diagram

Discusses the use of eye diagrams to evaluate failing channels in high-speed digital designs.

Lesson 3 - Investigating a Failing Channel

Learn how to use time domain reflectometry (TDR) to investigate a failing channel.

Lesson 4 - S-Parameter Basics

Examine how to use time domain reflectometry (TDR) to investigate a failing channel.

Lesson 5 - Verifying the Signal Integrity Root Cause

Discusses how to use time domain reflectometry (TDR) to investigate a failing channel.

Lesson 6 - Techniques for Opening the Eye

Reviews how to use time domain reflectometry (TDR) to investigate a failing channel.

Lesson 7 - Techniques for Opening the Eye

Understand techniques that can be used to open the eye of a failing signal. An open eye is a wide and clear eye diagram, which indicates that the signal is not being distorted. Techniques for opening the eye include adjusting the termination resistors, adding series resistors, and using differential signaling.
