Abstract :
Design and characterization of high speed digital buses and interconnects is an essential part in the computer hardware development process. Signal Integrity (SI) testing and verification examines the signal levels, shapes and timing requirements against specifications. In this work, we present a full SI characterization and modelling of a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus as well as a PCI-extended (PCI-x) bus running at 66 MHz/133 MHz, respectively. Laboratory measurements show the compliance with specification timing and signal levels.
