An eye diagram is one of the most effective methods for analyzing the signal integrity of your PCB designs. It reveals the quality of high-speed signals by highlighting voltage levels and timing errors. As a PCB designer, you can use this eye pattern to diagnose issues that could lead to data errors. In this article, you’ll learn how eye patterns are generated and how to analyze eye diagrams for signal integrity by evaluating the eye height, width, jitter, and amplitude. Highlights: An eye diagram is a superimposed view of multiple digital signal cycles, forming an eye-like shape. It reveals critical…
