eBook Overview

High-speed digital standards are quickly evolving to keep pace with the data demand from emerging technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles. Each generational change of high-speed computing standards provides new signaling features, faster data transfer rates, and smaller design margins. Faster speeds create new design challenges that require higher-accuracy simulation, new software tools, and more efficient workflows.

The hardware engineer's job is to design, verify, build, and test electronic products. Failing to adopt new design methodologies means risking product failure caused by the degradation of high-speed signals in the printed circuit board (PCB). Project delays are also risked as well as a skyrocketing budget. Avoiding this dilemma requires new design tools and a holistic design methodology that connects the workflows of multiple disciplines.

This eBook covers an approach, that allows for the design of a myriad of interface standards, without increasing design and verification time. The reader will also discover the four key considerations for successful, holistic high-speed digital designs.
