Overview
In high-speed or wide-bus interfaces, such as gigabit transceiver or high-speed memory interfaces, room for clock uncertainties and variations is small. Unfortunately, we live in a world where clock oscillators do have frequency variations and are exposed to jitter. This net seminar covers various clock network topologies for FPGAs as well as a detailed discussion of jitter, its components and causes. Finally, guidelines are provided for how to select the right oscillator for your high speed design.
You'll learn about:
- Synchronous and asynchronous clock network topology
- Components and causes of clock jitter
- How to select the right oscillator for your high-speed designs
Who Should View
- System Architects
- Hardware and system design engineers
- FPGA developers
