Dear Experts, is there any way to determin the optimum settings for Equalization and De-emphasis in a channel simulation? Situation: I'm running simulations of cascaded channels (driver-PCB-switch-PCB-switch-PCB-reclocker-PCB-Receiver). Each silicon has analog equalization and de-emphasis, only some have ECR, thus i can't just simulate section by section. Simulation takes very long, thus I would like to start with optimum settings. I'm looking for some technique or algorithm to determin the desired amount of equalization just by examining each silicon's input signal (Eye, spectrum, timing...). Any thoughts or paper reference is appreciated. BR Gert http://www.mesago.de/de/SPS/home.htm Besuchen sie uns auf der SPS/IPC/Drives in Nürnberg, vom 23. - 25.
