Webinar abstract:
Crosstalk in high-speed PCB interconnects
Data rates and the amount of data transmitted through PCB interconnects are rapidly increasing in all signaling protocols (Ethernet, OIF, PCIe, UCIe, DDR, 5G…). This leads to an increase in interconnect density (bandwidth density) and a rise in crosstalk. Crosstalk is unwanted noise from coupled structures caused by signal leaks that degrade the useful signal, potentially reducing data transmission rates and even causing complete link failure.
The crosstalk noise increases with rising data rates and rise times and should always be evaluated in pre-layout as well as for the final PCB design. The question is, what metric should be used for such evaluation?
In this webinar, we will overview four common approaches for crosstalk quantification: using coupling coefficients, in the frequency domain, in the time domain, and in the probabilistic domain. All approaches will be compared and demonstrated through live analysis in Simbeor electromagnetic signal integrity software. The main takeaways are understanding the relationships between these crosstalk evaluation methods and recognizing how easily they can be computed and compared using Simbeor software.
