10 Gbps backplane design methodology with sensitivity analysis and statistical analysis

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new design methodology for the high speed system backplane with sensitivity analysis and statistical analysis, and verify it with 10 Gbps system in time domain simulation and measurement. For fast and easy extraction of the optimal condition, sensitivity analysis with Taguchi method and frequency domain analysis are used. Also, for the consideration of process variation, statistical analysis is used. We verify the new design methodology by simulation result, measurement result, and the probability distribution of jitter and voltage margin due to process variation.
