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 ...

Signal integrity is one of the many challenges faced by chip designers. Deep submicron technologies are unfriendly hosts for the nice, clean signals desired. The culprits that compromise signal ...

Among many deliberations when designing with high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), the effect of the ADC’s sampling clock is paramount to meeting specific design requirements. There are ...

For example, if the positive-going edges of a clock signal are used as the timing reference for a digital circuit, then any deviation of the actual clock edges from their ideal positions constitutes ...

The beating heart of mixed-signal processing is delimited by the clock devices that slice the analog world into digital events. Like our own hearts, we don’t pay much attention to them unless ...

High-performance computing (HPC) applications require IC designs with maximum performance. However, as process technology advances, achieving high performance has become increasingly challenging.

Harrison, born in 1693 in Lincolnshire, proposed a clock design that would solve the problem of determining longitude at sea. His proposal was vindicated last Thursday, 300 years after he first ...
