            Abstract : 
Test, validation and characterization of high-speed circuits is a becoming a complex issue due to increase in circuit marginality, higher fallout, and more complex test solutions. The issue is compounded by the complex interactions between packaged components; interconnect design and customer board designs. This session will address the challenges in characterizing high-speed circuits including PLLs and SERDES. It describes test methodologies to overcome those challenges using industrial test cases.
