Take advantage of the low cost SI simulation offered by Ironwood Electronics, Inc. Impedance mismatch in contacts in test sockets can affect the signal integrity (SI) performance when testing high-speed semiconductor ICs. This discontinuity is mainly caused by mechanical features in interconnects/contactors that may result in impedance change. The signal integrity analysis of high-speed electronic […]
