Serial Data

Testing of High Speed Serial Designs
Duration: 15 min 51 sec
This tutorial will be helpful to all design engineers that are working with high-speed serial designs such as SATA, PCI-Express, FB-DIMM, and HDMI. This presentation will take you through connectivity and receiver testing as well as the signal-analysis requirements for your high-speed serial designs.

The Case of the Closing Eye
Duration: 15 min 56 sec
The origins of digital problems often lie in the analog realm. See how signal integrity analysis can help you keep your eyes open.

Clock Recovery in Serial-Data Systems
Duration: 13 min 20 sec
In this tutorial we'll cover the definition of a unit interval is much more complicated than it looks. We'll also learn about clock recovery bandwidths and their effect on signal integrity including which part of the jitter-spectrum matters most.

High Speed Serial Data Receiver Testing
Duration: 19 min 4 sec
This tutorial discusses the challenges in generating signals with increasing speeds for the latest serial standards and that thoroughly test any receiver with real world or "worst case" conditions. You will also learn how Direct Synthesis techniques enable a much more simplified method for many serial data test requirements.

How Stressing a Receiver Removes Stress from a Designer
Duration: 13 min 26 sec
Inducing the stress in your design can help you find it's hidden weaknesses. Learn the easy way to apply stress by understanding the hard way.

The Meaning of Total Jitter
Duration: 20 min 25 sec
In this tutorial, we'll clarify the difference between peak-to-peak jitter and Total Jitter at a bit error ration once and for all (we hope). We'll also discuss how TJ(BER) is estimated on oscilloscopes.

What the Dual Dirac Model is and What it is Not
Duration: 18 min 47 sec
In this tutorial, we'll cover the details of the dual-Dirac model, how and why it is used in specifications, how it is used to estimate the Total Jitter of a system, the assumptions it makes and where they fail.

All About the Acronyms: RJ, DJ, DDJ, ISI, DCD, PJ, SJ
Duration: 16 min 10 sec
In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to diagnose jitter problems by analyzing the different jitter components—each of which has its own acronym. We'll also see which of the components are independent and where they fit in specifications.

Jitter Analysis in Systems with Crosstalk
Duration: 18 min 57 sec
In this tutorial, we’ll show why jitter and voltage noise should really be analyzed at the same time and how this type of analysis can be used to recognize processes that are not jitter, but can completely corrupt a jitter analysis, like crosstalk.

Reference Clock Jitter and Data Jitter
Duration: 12 min 39 sec
In this tutorial, we’ll discuss the effect of clock jitter on serial data systems, the role it plays in both transmitters and receivers and how simple models can be used to isolate the clock jitter that impacts the bit error.

Efficiently Triggering, Debugging and Decoding Low-Speed Serial Buses
Duration: 24 min 19 sec
This tutorial will provide you with some valuable information on the growing popularity of serial buses and the new approaches to debugging and analyzing that they require. Specifically we will be looking at four low-speed serial buses: I²C, SPI, CAN and LIN.
