Equalization and Serial Data Link Analysis Methods (SDLA) with 80SJNB Advanced Application Note

This application note describes test and measurement methodology used by serial data standards running on lossy/dispersive channels which close the eye diagram at the receiver, and where equalization (FFE/DFE) is used to to open the eye. Comparison of measurement at the receiver and the recommended measurement at the Transmitter is demonstrated, as well as other SDLA concepts of interest to serial data designers and test engineers.
