While in the market for a memory upgrade recently, I was surprised by the availability of commercial DDR memories. You can get 8GB of DDR3 memory, transferring 17GB/s, relatively inexpensively. The ...

Maintaining the integrity of a high-speed signal is one of the biggest challenges when dealing with the new SuperSpeed USB 3.0 standard. Signal redrivers can boost and equalize the signal, and muxes ...

Today’s high-end field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with embedded transceivers support a variety of widely accepted serial protocol standards, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, XAUI and ...

As signal speeds increase across the board, maintaining signal integrity becomes critical for the printed-circuit-board (PCB) designer. In the world of signal conditioning, there are misunderstandings ...

In Part 1, we reviewed the importance of simultaneous switching output (SSO) timing and the challenges associated with double data rate (DDR) simulation complexity. DDR memory interfacing has reached ...
