Abstract

This dissertation report marks the commencement of the Final Year Project (FYP)
titled Signal Integrity Analysis for High Speed Digital Circuit. This project is a study on
various signal integrity (SI) issues that could possibly come into play on Printed Circuit
Boards (PCBs). This project is conducted to analyze and grasp a better understanding on
the nature of the problem, how the problem is manifested in circuits and what design
solutions can be employed to minimize its effects. Such a study is not something new but is
definitely getting more crucial as the vast improvement in chip fabrication technology leads
to logic families operating at a much higher speed, resulting to a faster rise time which will
worsen the noise phenomena, i. e. reflection, crosstalk, and power system stability during
component switching. Several causes to signal integrity issues on the printed circuit boards
are analyzed and both proper and improper circuit design techniques are implemented on
the Advanced Design System (ADS) software for data collection and analysis. Deliverables
at the end this project would be the simulation results to support the study, whereby several
simulations are conducted to demonstrate and verify the theoretical study of signal integrity
issues. Besides that, the designs will then be fabricated on a two-layer microstrip board and
tested on the Digital Communication Analyzer (DCA) to obtain more practical results. A
project Gantt chart is attached in the appendix to illustrate the work flow and anticipated
progress.
