Universal Serial Bus Signal Integrity Analysis for High - Speed Signaling

The Universal Serial Bus transmits differential data over twisted-pair cables originally designed for signaling at 12Mbit/s. Because of the recent specification of a 480Mbit/s signaling speed with the existing cabling, the high frequency behavior and temporal response of these cables is of interest. In this work, twoand threedimensional field solvers are used to characterize the field behavior ...

Transient Response Characterization of the High-speed Interconnection Rlcg-model for the Signal Integrity Analysis

This paper is devoted on the characterization method of RF/digital PCB interconnections for the prediction of the highspeed signal transient responses. The introduced method is based on the use of the interconnection line RLCG-model. Theoretical formulae enabling the extraction of the electrical per-unit length parameters R, L, C and G in function of the interconnection line physical characteri...

Signal Integrity: Fault Modeling and Testing in High-Speed SoCs

As we approach 100nm technology the interconnect issues are becoming one of the main concerns in the testing of gigahertz system-onchips. Voltage distortion (noise) and delay violations (skew) contribute to the signal integrity loss and ultimately functional error, performance degradation and reliability problems. In this paper, we first define a model for integrity faults on the high-speed int...

RLC Signal Integrity Analysis of High-Speed Global Interconnects

Inductive and capacitive coupling effects for high-speed global interconnects are studied via simulation. The impact of inductive coupling on delay and noise is found to be comparable to capacitive effects in high-speed buses. The results indicate that current-return paths are not strictly bounded by wide VDD/GND lines, so that inductive coupling is only partially eliminated by using shield wir...
