Signal Integrity: The Insider’s Viewpoint
You’ve heard it before: “If you don’t have signal integrity issues, you will.” New low-loss materials are constantly being rolled out to help with signal integrity, and most EDA companies now offer some flavor of tool that can design high-speed, high-frequency boards. But signal integrity continues to perplex PCB designers and design engineers. This month, we bring you a variety of feature articles by some of the top SI experts around.
