Description
Summary:As the requirement of wire line applications increases, the demand for higher data transmission bandwidth is continuously exploding. While the on-chip speed has led to a growing interest in developing faster I/O for chip-to-chip and backplane communication, bandwidth limitation has not shown dramatic improvement over the years. Consequently, it presents great challenges to achieving multi-gigabits per second signaling rate. The inherent undesirable electrical characteristics of channel and issues induced by neighboring channels such as crosstalk severely degrade the transmitted signal.
