SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DECREASING SIGNAL INTEGRITY NOISE BY USING VARYING DRIVE STRENGTHS BASED ON LIKELIHOOD OF SIGNALS BECOMING VICTIMS

摘要

A method of designing an integrated circuit, integrated circuits using different drive strengths and a signal integrity monitor are provide herein. In one embodiment, the signal integrity monitor includes: (1) a signal interface configured to receive a signal from a parallel data bus for transmission over a plurality of signal paths and (2) a victim signal identifier configured to dynamically determine a potential victim signal path of the plurality of signal paths.
