Interfacing high-speed signals

With the world of high-speed signals becoming the norm, there is a greater need to ensure that these signals interface correctly to maintain timing and fidelity. Rise times commonly are in the sub-nanosecond range, and propagation delays are in the nanosecond range. Accurate timing is becoming more critical and cannot be achieved without rigorously analyzing the signal path.

The purpose of this article is not to derive the transmission line equations that show why the results of the following case studies occur, but to assume and utilize them where necessary.
