  • Abstract
    This paper embodies a methodology used to create high-speed transceiver behavior models employed within a signal integrity-based link simulation platform. This tool includes routines for the optimization of transmitter pre-emphasis and equalization. This platform was created using MATLAB, qualified against Agilent´s ADS SI suite, and correlated with measurements. This paper also describes the practical uses of such a simulator developed at Altera to predict link performance over backplanes.
