Inline Error-Injection Tool Stress-Tests PCI Express Links
Along with this proliferation of PCI Express technology comes an increased need for tools with which to verify compliance to the standard. Even though a given device may be compliant, that device’s behavior will vary depending on the implementation, and even with the operating system and drivers associated with it for that matter. Handling this kind of testing in a deterministic manner is becoming more difficult over time.

Jitter-Tolerance BERT Targets Forwarded-, Embedded-Clock Designs
Testing of the physical layer in high-speed digital devices is becoming more challenging daily. The next generation of such devices will require forward-clocking architectures for memory-to-CPU interfaces, which will incur new signal-integrity (SI) and jitter problems.

Scopes’ Speed Lends Them To Third-Generation Serial Data Analysis
With each generation of consumer electronics, system designs must transfer greater and greater amounts of data at increased bandwidths. As a result, serial data-bus architectures such as PCI Express and SATA are ever present, having supplanted parallel designs in high-speed applications.

30-GHz Scope Claims Speed And Bandwidth Titles
Building on last year’s WavePro 7 Zi series of oscilloscopes, LeCroy has now launched a followup. The WaveMaster 8 Zi series of digital oscilloscopes, serial data analyzers, and disk-drive analyzer are, according to LeCroy, the market’s widest in bandwidth as well as the industry’s fastest real-time scopes, provide a sample rate of 80 Gsamples/s; 512 Megapoints of analysis; and greater than 15-GHz edge triggering.

Samsung HDD Touts Highest Storage, Smallest Footprint
Samsung’s Spinpoint M6 hard-disk drive (HDD) packs 500 Gbytes of storage into a single 2.5-in. hard-disk drive (HDD) in a standard 9.5-mm height with a 3-8 Gbit/s SATA interface, in what may be the best pound-for-pound HDD out there. The drive fits into the chassis of commercial and multimedia notebooks and some laptops (not all general-purpose laptops, though).

April 14, 2003 Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters Provide Many POL Power Options
Because they're smaller and less expensive, non-isolated point-of-load (POL) dc-dc converters are supplanting venerable brick-style isolated dc-dc converters for generating the array of voltages required by today's pc boards. And because their small...
