High Speed Signaling Metrology Brent Stone, Intel
High Speed Signaling Metrology BACKGROUND Higher interconnect signaling speeds & bandwidth requirements driving the need for characterizing signal integrity of sockets and connectors Need for consistent measurement methodologies PROPOSAL: inemi coordinated effort to measure socket & connector electrical parameters Define metrology requirements for time and frequency domain Cross-company matching of socket and connector electrical parameters using predefined test boards and sample units Drive common database / data formats of test results for customers to use 10
High Speed Signaling Metrology On High Speed Signaling... a lot of work has already been done by major connector manufacturers on things like sockets, backplane connectors and high speed IO connectors This is done through various modeling and simulation tools. Some mfrs publish Spice models for use by customers online. Molex, TE, FCI, Samtec and other do this The current state-of-art in high speed connectors includes: 10-25Gbps backplane, 10-40GbE, 10Gbps Thunderbolt, 4.8 going to 9.6Gbps USB and of course fiber optic solutions Input - John L MacWilliams Principal: US Competitors LLC 11

Connector Standard Reliability Test Recommendations Project Anne Ryan, Alcatel-lucent
Connector Standard Reliability Test Recommendations BACKGROUND Test capabilities for socket reliability (such as temp cycle and shock, failure analysis) are different across socket/ connector manufacturers Associated criterion for passing is not consistent PROPOSAL Scope/drive opportunity for industry level standard reliability test conditions and equipment capabilities, FA capability and criteria Drive common database / data formats of test results for customers to use 16
Connector Standard Reliability Test Recommendations Scope of work Define a standard list of levels for each connector type. Based on the guidelines developed, the project will identify and document these for industry awareness Below is an example of the connector levels but this list varies industry wide, most only define 5 levels Level 0: On Chip Interconnects Level 1: Chip to Package Level 2: Package to Board Level 3: PCB mount Level 4: Board to Board Level 5: Chassis to Chassis Level 6: I/O connectors Level 7: Intersystem Cabling Level 8: Campus/Metropolitan Area Level 9: Long Haul Telecom/Datacom Level 10: Special Application Connectors Input - John L Mac Williams Principal: US Competitors LLC 17
