White Paper Overview
An eye diagram is a key tool for interface compliance testing and signal integrity analysis, revealing issues such as loss, jitter, crosstalk, and noise in high-speed links; it helps assess overal signal quality and root cause analysis. As data rates increase, impairments from channels, transmitters, and external sources become more critical and harder to isolate. They also support automated compliance testing to verify standards and document results efficiently. While traditional methods still have significant value, they also have several weaknesses with less accurate or less detailed analysis of signal quality. This paper provides a faster approach with more in-depth analysis.
