Abstract :
This paper discusses a methodology employed to create a tool that quantifies the effects of signal integrity limitations particularly for high-speed applications. The tool is based on a platform of routines which predict performance over high-speed links. It contains routines that optimize transmitter pre-emphasis and receiver equalization that lead to superior BER performance. The tool is qualified against Agilent´s ADS simulator and correlated to measurements
