TI Precision Labs - Signal Conditioning: What is a Bathtub Curve?

In this video, we’re going to discuss eye diagrams and bathtub curves as key electrical measurements in high speed signaling environments. Bathtub curves can be useful in evaluating your system’s performance over different amounts of data, and the probability of bit errors occurring over a set amount of data.  In this session, we are going to discuss the fundamental elements of a bathtub curve, how bathtub curves relate to eye diagrams, and how they are used to evaluate system performance before PCB fabrication.
