Achieving Low BER Across 10+ Gbps Serial Links

As serial data rates increase beyond 10 Gbps to address high-bandwidth applications (e.g., 40G/100G systems), board design challenges grow as well. Ensuring statistical reliability of a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) channel requires careful board design, as well as advanced silicon capabilities to handle losses due to PCB material properties and reflections due to discontinuities in the channel. In this webcast, we will discuss some of the solutions available to address these challenges and ensure high reliability for serial links at data rates … Read More → "Achieving Low BER Across 10+ Gbps Serial Links"
