What to Expect

Today several standard bodies are developing next-generation high-speed links with the desire to achieve lower bit error rates (BER). These factors are driving optimization of all components (not just the ICs) in the system. At the root of this optimization is "signal integrity" which allows for “what ifs" and/or drives trade-offs.

This webinar will:

• Provide an update on the current 6G standard bodies activities
• Discuss the major factors contributing to signal integrity
• Provide examples on how to optimize such tasks as Vias in the PCB design to avoid costly debug and re-spins when system BER objectives are not met
• Discuss system considerations for NRZ and 4PAM signaling selection
