MAGNETIC MEASUREMENT

- BY PAUL RAKO• TECHNICAL EDITOR
MEASURING MAGNETIC FIELDS REQUIRES SPECIALIZED SENSORS AND KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS. YOU CAN USE A VARIETY OF INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING GAUSSMETERS, TESLAMETERS, FLUXMETERS, AND MAGNETOMETERS, TO MEASURE MAGNETISM, AND PRICES FOR THESE UNITS RANGE FROM PENNIES TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. LEARN WHICH SENSOR FITS YOUR APPLICATION.

Eye-pattern templates help evaluate SerDes performance

- BY CHUNG WU • MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS
THE SERIALIZER AND DESERIALIZER (SERDES) FUNCTION IS BECOMING EVER-MORE COMMON AS AN INTERCONNECTION CIRCUIT BLOCK HANDLING HIGH-SPEED SERIAL DATA FOR VIDEO DISPLAY, IMAGE SENSING, AND DATA TRANSMISSION IN THE AUTOMOTIVE AND TELECOM INDUSTRIES. TO GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE FROM THE SERIAL LINK ESTABLISHED BY A SERIALIZER/DESERIALIZER CHIPSET, THE DESIGNER NEEDS AN EASY WAY TO EVALUATE THE LINK’S PERFORMANCE AND DETERMINE ITS MARGIN FOR RELIABLE DATA TRANSMISSION.
