This Fidus whitepaper, awarded the Outstanding Paper Award at EDI CON USA 2017, delves into the complexities of high-speed SERDES (Serializer/Deserializer) interfaces, particularly focusing on their implementation on single printed circuit boards and backplane systems. With data rates exceeding 5 Gbps, these interfaces have become commonplace, but ensuring error-free operation remains a challenge.
This paper explores the design process, emphasizing the importance of understanding parameters like s-parameters, insertion loss, return loss, skew, and insertion loss deviation. It also addresses the impact of ground plane resonance and skew between differential pairs on link performance.
