Electronic Design UPDATE edited by Richard Gawel, Managing Editor
During the past few years, most mainstream high-speed serial data standards have been transmitted at bit rates well below 5 Gbits/s. Today, many signal standards under development are reaching or surpassing this rate. Due to channel loss, higher-frequency content is degraded while lower-frequency content is intact.

It provides four GbE copper ports for use in a wide variety of next-generation wireless and storage networking equipment. Each network interface on the LAN AMC can auto-sense speed, simplex, duplex, and flow control and detect polarity (without the need for crossover cables) and cable lengths.

The design of high-speed pc boards and systems is tricky business. So tricky, in fact, that it's taken author Lee Ritchey two whole books to convey his insights into the process. But with the publication of the second and final volume of "Right The First Time," Ritchey has completed his mission of producing a comprehensive overview of what it takes to manage the process of understanding, designing, and producing a high-speed design that meets specs and is manufacturable.
