Optimization of a High-Speed Interconnect Link Under Signal Integrity Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a systematic procedure for the optimization of high-speed interconnect links under signal integrity constraints. The main goal for the optimization process is the transmission eye diagram opening. Parameterized macromodels of sensitive interconnects are employed to speed up the possibly large number of repeated transient simulations for the computation of the eye diagram required by the optimization run. In addition, passive macromodels of connectors and packages and behavioral models for drivers/receivers are used in order to reproduce with good accuracy the actual response of the link under realistic working conditions.

Robust Optimization and Reflection Gain Enhancement of Serial Link System for Signal Integrity and Power Integrity
System level signal integrity and power integrity problems for high speed serial links have been explored in this paper. An example of the USB 2.0 IP has been used in this paper, but the analysis is generic for all serial links. This paper considers signal and power integrity as effects simultaneoulsy. A model is developed to optimize the performance of high speed serial link in terms of jitter...

Signal integrity of high-speed interconnects has significant adverse effect on the proper function and performance of VLSI. A new crosstalk fault model is presented for testing glitch and delay in this paper. This model takes odd and even mode transmission into account based on parasitic RLC elements of interconnect. It can stimulate the maximal signal integrity loss compared to maximal aggress...
