System Design for High-Frequency and High-Data Rate Applications

What it is about

You will learn how to design, simulate, and evaluate systems for applications with high frequencies and high data rates. In the end, you will be able to design high-speed circuits, assess their layouts, and perform suitable simulations and measurements for validation.

What you will be able to do

Understand the fundamentals of high-frequency and high-data-rate applications
Evaluate signal parameters (rise time, bandwidth, overshoot, jitter)
Consider source and sink properties (impedance, nonlinearity)
Design trace and via layout for signal integrity
Apply power-supply design for high-speed applications
Conduct simulations and measurements (time/frequency domain, eye diagram)
Incorporate application-specific interfaces (DDR, eMMC, PCIe, JESD204)

What the module consists of

VorlesungDelivery of methods, tools and fundamentals for system design
TutoriumCalculation of design-specific parameters and practical work with design tools

Teaching method
