PELE: pre-emphasis & equalization link estimator to address the effects of signal integrity limitations

Published: 24 July 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This paper discusses a methodology employed to create a tool that quantifies the effects of signal integrity limitations particularly for high-speed applications. The tool is based on a platform of routines which predict performance over high-speed links. It contains routines that optimize transmitter pre-emphasis and receiver equalization that lead to superior BER performance. The tool is qualified against Agilent's ADS simulator and correlated to measurements.
