Signal and Power Integrity

In this lesson on “On-die Power Integrity,” we will delve into the intricacies of Power and Signal Integrity in electronic systems, drawing comparisons with real-life examples like electricity distribution networks. The lesson explains the concept of Power Integrity, its challenges and benefits, using examples such as flickering lights and bulb fuses due to high current. It also explores the components and potential noise issues in the Power Distribution Network (PDN). The lesson then introduces Signal Integrity, explaining its importance in electronic systems and highlighting potential problems like noise, signal reflections, weak signal strength, and cross talk. The lesson concludes with a discussion on the challenges of maintaining signal integrity, including crosstalk, reflections due to impedance mismatch, attenuation, skew, and electromagnetic interference.
