Speeding debugging, characterization, and validation of high-speed serial bus designs, Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, Calif.) is introducing what it says is an industry-first, a serial data analysis ...

Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the application field of its R&S RTO oscilloscope by adding an option to decode and analyze 8b/10b encoded interfaces up to 6.25 Gb/s. The new software option’s full ...

In days of yore, PLLs (phase locked loops) recovered clocks from data signals. Since the clock is embedded in logic transitions, PLL clock-recovery circuits couldn't handle waveforms with long strings ...

Few serial technologies have become more widely adopted than 8b/10b coding, which is now used in standards like PCI-Express, Serial ATA, SAS, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, FireWire, MIPI M-PHY, HDMI, ...

Why should we do AC-coupling on SDI and, how does AC-coupling degrade our SDI signal? In past experiences, many engineers asked me this simple question, and because we are familiar with AC-coupled ...

Encoder/Decoder pair that implements the standard IBM® 8b/10b line code for a DC-balanced serial data stream. The 8b/10b code is a common encoding sc ...

With the evolution of serialized bus architectures and the move to higher physical data rates, designers will continuously deal with channel loss as well as additional complexities such as OOB and ...
