Dear experts, I work for one of the largest aerospace companies in the world. Our systems are unbelievably complex although our digital edge rates are only recently starting to cause our interfaces to behave in a distributed manner. I have been on a crusade the past few months to convince management to form a signal integrity team and cast aside outdated rules of thumb and the "design it and hope that it works" mentality. I can't help but believe that some of you on this list have been in the same predicament. I am extremely interested in hearing your stories. More importantly, I am looking for examples and impacts of device, board, or system level catastrophic SI failures to help me drive home my point during my next attempt to show the decision makers the light. Thanks in advance for your help.
