High Speed Connectivity Designer Extending Signal Integrity in High Speed Platforms Compliments of Pericom     |     Products     |     Protocols     |     Applications     |     Company     |     Contact Top Story Driving The Digital Car With Analog Components Today’s new cars get decent mileage, are relatively safe and are considered stylish, so auto OEMs must add something special to stand out. Car tech is the cornerstone differentiator of many automobile companies’ product offerings. Lately the "killer features" that consumers want and will pay extra for include tech packages such as: an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system with smartphone integration, rear seat LCDs, and all-around cameras for safety.

Pericom Timing products minimize jitter, lower bit error results to a more reliable system. White Paper Overcoming Advanced Signaling Integrity Issue in High-Speed Systems As signaling rates continue to increase, maintaining signal integrity has become a much greater challenge for developers. Migrating a system to a next-generation interface operating at 8, 10, or 12 Gbps brings with it increased sensitivity to attenuation and jitter that can severely curtail reach and reliability.
