Low-Power And RF Design Heighten Signal-Integrity Concerns


By Ellen Konieczny As active devices and interconnect wires shrink and are placed closer together with the march of Moore’s Law, signal integrity is becoming a huge concern. If it is not maintained, a design’s future may be marred by lower yields, unreliable performance, and failure to work efficiently—if at all. For low-power and radio-frequency (RF) designs, which are being prod... » read more
