[SI-LIST] Re: eye diagram

An eye diagram shows you how sloppy you can be :) =20

The "eye" is the boundary that a signal may vary in amplitude and time =
with reference to another signal while maintaining a passing test =
condition.  If a signal is supposed to be aligned with clock, it has a =
spec that says it can vary +- some given time amount (can be thought of =
as something like jitter) around this reference and still be valid.  The =
voltage level that this signal rides at (usually Vtt or Vref) can also =
vary a +- amount around it's level.  If you combine the +- voltage =
variance and the +- time variance you end up with something the shape of =
an eye.  In the broadest generalization, the more "eye" you have, the =
more margin-to-fail you have.

The example I give is using spec values but in practice, you vary the =
voltage and timing to push the device until failure thus defining the =
eye.

Hi,
=20
Want to know about eye diagram.
How does eye diagram plays a role in desiging Multi Gigaherts PCBs ?
What is the methodology i.e do eye diagrams come in datasheets.
Need some basic understanding on relation with eye diagram and SI.

Karan
