Essential Insights for Design PCIe 6.0 Interconnects
By Keysight - 24 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

PCI Express (PCIe) is a serial communication protocol that has progressed through generations to enhance data rates and functionality. The latest version, PCIe 6.0, doubles the data rate to 64 GT/s, enabling up to 256 GB/s of bandwidth in an x16 configuration. The technology incorporates PAM4 signaling and forward error correction to maintain high speeds with improved signal integrity and relia... » read more

Investing in EV Battery Testing — Benefits for EV Battery Designers
By Keysight - 27 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Phasing out gas-powered internal combustion engines (ICE) and moving towards clean energy electric vehicles (EVs) brings substantial technology investments to deliver EVs to the mainstream market. Government legislation to eliminate or limit the production of ICEs by 2035 is creating a surge in demand for the EV ecosystem. This in turn, is driving demand for more efficient ways of EV battery sy... » read more

Considerations to Successfully Integrate Chiplets in Designs
By Keysight - 29 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplet integration is a promising approach to creating heterogeneous and complex system-on-chips (SoCs) with significant performance, power, scalability, flexibility, and cost benefits. However, chiplet integration also poses substantial design, verification, testing, and packaging challenges, requiring new standards and design methodologies. Electronic design automation (EDA) software and sim... » read more

How To Calculate The ROI Of Semiconductor IP Management
By Keysight - 15 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Intellectual property (IP) is a vital asset for technology companies. IP is often a critical factor in the valuation of a company and must be protected from accidental damage, leakage, and other negative consequences of poor handling. In the context of silicon companies that work on building silicon chips, the term IP involves overseeing both internal IP developed by the company itself and exte... » read more

Key Critical Specs You Should Know Before Selecting a Function Generator
By Keysight - 24 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Selecting a benchtop function generator for your everyday use is very important. You want to be sure it produces the signal types that you need for your tests without introducing unwanted jitters, noise, harmonic distortions, or signal flaws. Introducing unwanted signal flaws inadvertently causes false test rejects due to your function generator. It is a common mistake to purchase the least exp... » read more

PCI Express Test Overview
By Keysight - 10 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

PCl Express, short for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, is a high-performance and high-bandwidth serial communication interconnect standard. First proposed by Intel and further developed by the Peripheral Component Interconnect Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) in replacement of bus-based communication architecture, such as PCI, PCI Extended (PCI-X), and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)... » read more

Everything You Need to Know About Wi-Fi 7
By Keysight - 27 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

The IEEE 802.11be standard introduces several new features for improving WLAN efficiency, capacity, and coverage. Features such as multi-link operation (MLO) and multiple resource units (multi-RUs) increase the number of configurations and test scenarios to validate a device thoroughly. In addition to physical-layer testing, test engineers must emulate signaling to verify interactions between a... » read more

Effectively Monitor And Streamline Test Processes Using A DAQ
By Keysight - 13 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Manufacturing and field operations generate a high volume of data, and they are also fueling growth in the use of smart remote sensing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The data that is generated gives users visibility into their operations in real time or near real time to help them make decisions quickly. Time is a critical factor when high-volume production lines go down, electri... » read more

Understanding The Differences Between Oscilloscopes And Digitizers For Wideband Signal Acquisitions
By Keysight - 28 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Most of us remember the first time we used an oscilloscope. With one look at the large display, we could tell what was happening to our waveforms. From the earliest days, oscilloscopes have been a primary tool for quick visualization of time-variant waveforms, and over the years, they’ve become a core instrument on the bench. Wideband digitizers are related to modern oscilloscopes since both ... » read more

Understanding Noise And Sensitivity In Spectrum Analyzers
By Keysight - 24 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Using a spectrum analyzer to measure noise signals requires several additional factors, such as sensitivity or how well the instrument can measure small signals. The analyzer’s noise floor specifies the average noise level (DANL) in dB, which is the amount of internally generated noise. Analyzers apply noise floor extension using an algorithm applied to subtract the analyzer’s noise contrib... » read more
