SoC and IP: High-Speed 112G Design and COM Dependencies

Vinod Khera

The design impairments such as SoC packaging, package-to-board impedance mismatch, and crosstalk due to front panel and backplane connector, as well as noise coupling could have a significant impact on the bit error rate (BER) in a production system. mentioned in Such design impairments These impairments have a much bigger impact as we move towards 112G data rate because of smaller UI and lower SNR. By prescribing…

Verification: Re-Timer – The Key for High-Speed Signal Transmission in USB4 Systems

Neelabh

The objective of USB4 protocol to achieve high speed signal transmission and thereby providing high data bandwidths for protocol tunneling would not have been possible without USB4 re-timer. Like several other serial protocols where the generation-by-generation higher link speeds are being targeted, USB4 system too needs re-timers, whether On-board or in Active cables, to support 40Gbps link speed.

Re-timers are protocol…
