The Signal Integrity Workflow Evolution

Keysight Learning and The EEcosystem Podcast present Professor Dr. Eric Bogatin, Signal Integrity Expert, and Dr. Tim Wang-Lee, Signal Integrity Application Scientist in the first of a special edition podcast series. In this episode, we discuss issues related to the signal integrity design workflow and ways to ensure efficiency and success. We also explore ways that EDA tools can improve the design workflow and how these tools need to evolve in order to support the successful design and development of high-speed hardware applications.
