Improved Transmitter Jitter Modeling for Accurate Bit Error Rate (BER) Eye Contours Using Transient Simulation of Short Bit Patterns

Increase in the signaling speeds has led to decrease in jitter budget available for the channel to pass the product specifications. The current serial link specifications are based on a bit-error-rate (BER) metric and hence there is a need to account for jitter statistically. Accurately capturing jitter through the channel is very important to have confidence in the product specifications. Current...
