Signal integrity is the art of getting a signal from point A to point B with minimum distortion to that signal. The recent attention on this subject stems from the necessity to build systems with ever ...

As consumers thirst for the high-definition experiences delivered by expanding amounts of signal bandwidth, design challenges related to clocking become increasingly difficult and complicated. The ...

Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

A recent blog post discussed the challenges of clock signal integrity and clock jitter in deep submicron semiconductor devices. Nice, clean clock signals are degraded due to many factors, including ...

At a logical level, synchronous designs are very simple and the clock just happens. But the clocking network is possibly the most complex in a chip, and it’s fraught with the most problems at the ...

Timing relationships between signals are critical to reliable operation of digital designs. With synchronous designs, the timing of the clock signal relative to data signals is especially important.

To address the discontinuity and constant bias inherent in traditional hard and soft threshold functions, an atomicclock signal denoising method based on the hyperbolic tangent smooth threshold ...

The basic considerations when choosing a timing solution for today’s technologies. The difference between a crystal oscillator and an integrated clock device. Use cases and performance factors for ...

As semiconductor designs move to advanced process nodes, timing closure becomes significantly more challenging. At 7nm, traditional optimization techniques often fall short due to increased process ...
