Imagine you're under pressure to move a hypothetical multi-gigabit-per-second communications design to production. One problem remains elusive—the high-speed communication between chips suffers ...

Serial transmission of data representing video and audio signals has become standard practice across the broadcast industry. There are many advantages, including high data rate capability, ...

Almost all high-speed SERDES designs require reference clocks that you must properly select to ensure that your links meet jitter requirements of high-speed serial-data communication standards.

Whether you are sitting at a computer, working on a tablet, talking or surfing on a cell phone, sending data over a network, performing digital signal analysis, or controlling an industrial robot, ...

Signal jitter is one of the more difficult compliance issues confronting serial device designers. With their high data rates and embedded clocks, modern serial ...

We continue to cover the broad topic of which of the various technologies – including those that are part of the Next-generation Enterprise WAN (NEW) architecture, like WAN Optimization, WAN ...

With the continued quest for ever-higher performance, the unit interval (UI) for a data valid window continues to shrink. At a 1-Gbit/s rate, the UI is 1000 ps, shrinking to 200 ps at 5 Gbits/s and a ...

Jitter can seriously degrade system operation but, as Lee Morgan explains, characterising and troubleshooting jitter on embedded systems has become a lot easier. Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded ...
