Signal Integrity for High-Speed Memory & Processor I/O
Visit Xilinx Customer Education
Learn how signal integrity techniques are applicable to high-speed interfaces between Xilinx FPGAs and semiconductor memories.  This course teaches you about high-speed bus and clock design, including transmission line termination, loading, and jitter.  You will work with IBIS models and complete simulations using CAD packages.  Other topics include managing PCB effects and on-chip termination.  This course balances lecture modules and practical hands-on labs...DOWNLOAD XILINX SIGNAL INTEGRITY FOR HIGH-SPEED MEMORY & PROCESSOR I/O COURSE DETAIL
