Skills you will gain

  • Understand signal and power integrity concepts and terminology
  • Perform design, modeling, and analysis of high-speed interconnects and systems
  • Explain the impacts of inter-symbol interference, jitter, power supply noise on the performance of high speed systems
  • Apply equalization, modulation, and advanced signaling techniques to increase system bandwidth
  • Identify and relate various high-speed link components and parameters to system performance and make trade off decisions

Course Description

High-speed digital systems live and die by signal and power integrity. This course teaches you to model interconnects, design equalization, and analyze timing jitter and power noise, bridging theory and real-world design through case studies from actual high-speed link designs.
