Understanding the Differences Between Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4

The consumer computing industry demands a new form of IO’s that can deliver on a vision of future needs. These needs include improved video and audio quality, such as 2K, 4K, and 8K displays, shrinking of the system form factor so that we can design thinner, lightweight laptops, and flexible [...]

Understanding How To Analyze Jitter

Why You Should Care About Jitter Jitter is a common problem. A quantified misplacement in time of the signal relative to the expected time position, jitter is ultimately a degradation of the key definition of performance of a serial link, which is the bit error ratio. Power distribution networks (PDNs) [...]

World’s first optical oscilloscope

A team from UCF has developed the world’s first optical oscilloscope, an instrument that is able to measure the electric field of light. The device converts light oscillations into electrical signals, much like hospital monitors convert a patient’s heartbeat into electrical oscillation. Until now, reading the electric field of light has been [...]
