On an oscilloscope's eye-pattern diagram, the distance between peak deterministic and random jitter amplitudes (the unit interval, or UI) is often called a "bathtub," which functions as a ...

The eye diagram is a general-purpose tool for analyzing serial digital signals. It shows the effects of vertical noise, horizontal jitter, duty cycle distortion, inter-symbol interference, and ...

A previous article on jitter (Synch and clock recovery – an analog guru looks at jitter) defined jitter and its various sub-components. The purpose of this note is to answer the question, “So now that ...

Signal integrity is a critical design consideration in modern electronic systems, particularly those that depend on high-speed interconnects. As data rates climb and interconnect geometries become ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The bit error ratio (BER) is defined as the probability that a bit is received in ...
