Signal Conditioning for Backplane

Overview:
Backplanes are extensively used in many applications where signals from one module are exchanged with other module(s) within the system. Although the structure of backplanes is simple, there are many system design tricks hidden behind, especially when the data rate is high. This presentation will address most of the design challenges and explain how signal conditioning devices are able to ease the problems.

Length: 20 minutes
