Mentor White Paper: Improving Characteristics of Serial Links
August 12, 2015 | Mentor GraphicsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Predicting and understanding the performance and the limiting factors of a serial data link is critical to the high-speed serial design process. To this end, we concern ourselves with characterization of active and non-linear components of serial data links, such as transmitters or buffers, by deconvolution of the impulse response from a pattern in either simulation or measurement environments.
Mathematical derivation of the calculation is given for "symmetrical" and "asymmetrical" edges, with discussion of singularity. The practical impact on simulation and measurement methodology is discussed, as well as overall improvement in accuracy with real DUTs. Simulation and measurement results are compared in this white paper.

Is It the Death of the Dashboard?
11/27/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineIn 2024, companies are leveraging AI agents to automate data-driven decisions, bypassing the need for specialized data science skills. In this interview with Tim Burke and Jennifer Davis of Arch Systems, they say these AI tools can handle straightforward tasks, significantly improving factory efficiency by addressing numerous small issues. This shift allows existing staff to use data effectively without extensive retraining. Both large and small language models are used to support real-time decisions on the production floor, integrating various data sources to create a comprehensive digital twin of the factory’s operations.
