Signal Integrity Testing & Validation
What Is Signal Integrity Testing & Validation?
Signal Integrity Testing & Validation refers to a series of diagnostic, measurement, and compliance procedures that evaluate the quality, timing, and stability of electrical signals across high-speed data systems. In modern data centers—particularly those supporting AI applications—electronic signals must be transmitted with minimal loss, distortion, and interference. Even small irregularities in timing or amplitude can severely impact data throughput and system performance.
This technology ensures that digital communication channels—including PCBs, cables, connectors, backplanes, and ICs—maintain proper voltage levels, controlled impedance, minimal reflections, and robust timing margins. Our testing focuses not only on signal clarity but also on identifying how power integrity, crosstalk, and environmental noise can degrade system reliability.
Key Categories of Signal Integrity Testing & Validation
High-Speed Interconnect Characterization
Evaluate serial channels such as PCIe, Ethernet, and USB to ensure clear signal transmission. We use advanced tools to assess jitter, eye diagrams, bit error rates, and S-parameters—ensuring compliance with industry specs and performance targets.

PCB Layout and Trace Testing
We validate trace impedance, detect discontinuities with Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), and simulate real-world loads to determine if PCBs can handle the bandwidths required by AI and high-speed data processing applications.

EMI and Crosstalk Mitigation
Our EMI assessments identify both conducted and radiated emissions that could compromise data channels. We also pinpoint sources of crosstalk in dense trace routing, ensuring signal paths meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards.

Power Integrity and Grounding Effects
We investigate how power fluctuations, simultaneous switching noise (SSN), and poor grounding affect signal quality. Proper decoupling, PDN modeling, and ground loop analysis are part of our end-to-end validation.
