Signal Integrity (SI)- What is it?
It is the application of engineering principles to:
Control impedance and reflections
Minimize parasitic and unwanted coupling effects
Control skew
Adjust for skin-effect and dielectric losses
Transmitter Pre-emphasis
Receiver Equalization
So chips can communicate at higher data rates
“Signal integrity is a field of study half-way between
digital design and analog circuit theory”
Dr. Howard Johnson
