Achieving SerDes Interoperability on Altera’s 28nm FPGAs Using Introspect ESP

by Jim Turley

Introspect Technology has implemented its award-winning Introspect ESP embedded signal integrity analyzer on Altera’s high-end 28nm transceiver FPGAs. The result was a game-changing ability to achieve link optimization and interoperability on complex system boards containing a multitude of SerDes links. This white paper describes the various Introspect and Altera® technologies involved and illustrates, with real-life examples, the ability to self-measure, self-optimize, and self-repair SerDes links and systems.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
