The idea behind receiver tolerance testing is to submit the receiver to “the worst-case but compliant” stress. If it can operate under those conditions, the thinking goes, then it can inter operate ...

Volumes have been written about jitter, an indication of the complexity associated with timing uncertainty. Actually, timing errors are easy to measure. It is in the assignment of blame that the ...

Jitter is defined as the unwanted variation in the timing of successive events. That statement’s broad wording applies to a range of pulse-edge positions relative to a reference clock as well as ...

Engineers who design industrial machines still have to contend with a hodgepodge of networking technologies — perhaps a fieldbus or two for all the I/O, a proprietary motion control network and ...
