这是自己翻译的一篇背板方面的英文。 High-Speed Backplanes Pose New Challenges to Comms Designers 高速背板给一般的设计者带来新的挑战 As backplane speeds move beyond 3 Gbit/s, designers will encounter problems not seen at lower rates. Fortunately, through the use of modeling techniques, designers can tackle these issues head on. 因为背板(的信号)运行速度在3 Gbit/s 以上,设计者将遇到(信号)在低速时见不到的问题。庆幸的是,设计者可以通过使用建模技术来处理遇到的麻烦。 The operating data rates of current state-of-the-art backplane serial links are in the 2.5- to 3.125-Gbit/s range. As silicon becomes available that can support higher data rates into the 5- and 10-Gbit/s range, comm system designers are looking for ways to support these higher rates within their existing backplanes. 目前(一些)背板(也) 用于最尖端的多链接(系统)。它的数据交换速度范围在2.5 – 3.125 Gbit/s的。随着硅(芯片)能支持高达5 – 10 Gbit/s 的数据交换速度,设计者们正在寻找方法来在他们现有的背板设计中也支持这样高的速度。 In the 5- to 10-Gbit/s range, the technical challenges created by phenomenon such as reflections and crosstalk increase. In addition, new voltage- and timing-related challenges have arisen that typically do not exist in lower data rate ranges. These include skin effect, dielectric loss, inter-symbol interference (ISI), and via stub effect. 在5-10 Gbit/s 的范围,由诸如反射和串扰等带来的技术挑战在增加。另外,一些新的,在原来的低交换速度下不存在的因素也开始浮出水面,比如与电压和时序相关的一些方面的事情。这些因素包括表面效应,介电损耗,信号间干扰,和导通孔的(多余的)尾端效应。 To overcome these challenges, system designers must develop accurate and efficient models for both the active and the passive components of the system. Silicon vendors also need channel models to successfully design proper on-chip circuits for implementing various techniques like equalization and reflection cancellation. By modeling the known deterministic effects of the channel, signal-integrity related problems can be understood, and techniques can be developed to minimize their impacts. 为了克服这些挑战,系统设计者一定要为系统中的主动元件和被动元件开发出精确的,有效的模型。硅(芯片)供应商也需要信道模型来成功的将线路和芯片设计成一体,以便应用各种各样的工艺技术,比如均等和发射消除技术。通过将已知的信道效果模块化,信号完整性方面的问题就易于理解,并且能够开发一些技术来将这些影响降至最低。 To develop a backplane model, individual models for connectors, packages, PCB traces and vias are needed. In this article, we'll examine the technical challenges that must be overcome to support 5- to 10-Gbit/s rates, and the corresponding channel model requirements. 开发一种背板模型需要独立的连接器模型,封装,线路板上的线路以及导通孔。在这篇文章中,我们将分析支持5-10 Gbit/s 速度所必需克服的技术挑战,以及相应的信道模型的要求。 |
