High speed digital (HSD) integrated circuits (ICs) are used in Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) systems defined at a high data rate with a lossy channel between the transmitter circuit and the receiver circuit. In such systems, the received data stream is severely distorted and requires reconstruction (equalization) before use. One common modeling objective is to use SPICE […]
