Introduction to Signal Integrity for Xilinx FPGAs

Get a complete introduction to Signal Integrity for Xilinx FPGA designs in 1 day.

Learn when and how to apply signal integrity techniques to high-speed interfaces between Xilinx FPGAs and other components. This introductory course combines analysis techniques and methodology with relevant background concepts of high-speed bus and clock design, including transmission line termination, loading, and jitter.

You will work with IBIS models and witness simulations using Mentor Graphics HyperLynx. This course balances lecture modules with instructor demonstrations.
