Two Myths About Silicon Photonic Chips
The coming of silicon photonic technology in the datacom and telecom industries has been foretold for the last several decades. Indeed, replacing copper wires with fiber optics and silicon photonic interfaces has been occurring in these markets, just at a slower pace than predicted. Chris Cole, VP of Advanced Development at II-VI, challenges the expectation of a wide-spread replacement of copper wires with silicon photonic interfaces.
The Future Of Signal And Power Integrity Designs
The winner of the DesignCon 2020 award was Istvan Novak, Principal Signal and Power Integrity Engineer at Samtec. Aside from his impressive career as an engineer, Novak has been a long time participant at DesignCon. In the following interview, Design News talks with Novak about past and future trends in Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI), as well as what the award means to him. Design News: How has the signal integrity (SI) industry and technology changed in the last 20 years?
Fundamentals of Signal Integrity
As the name suggests, signal integrity deals with the integrity of an electrical signal. It all stems from the fact that digital signals are not really binary values of “1” or “0” but are analog voltage (or current) waveforms. As such, these waveforms are subject to the real-world, physical effects of noise, distortion, and loss. If the distances are short and at low bit rates, then a simple conductor will transmit a waveform with acceptable fidelity.
Top 10 2019 engineering, science, and technology awards
“The Royal Swedish Academy of Science Nobel Prize in Physics recognizes both theoretical and experimental contributions to understanding the universe. This year, the prize is awarded to APS Fellow James Peebles (Princeton University), Michel Mayor (University of Geneva), and Didier Queloz (University of Geneva; University of Cambridge).
