Meeting Miss Configuration: An object lesson in clock termination in a media-production environmentMost high-speed feeds we encounter in our daily lives are of the point-to-point variety. A USB peripheral connects to a USB-host port. An Ethernet client attaches to an Ethernet hub. In such cases, the line terminations that provide impedance matches ‘twixt source and destination reside happily (and invisibly to us) within the subject equipment. |

Despite proliferating so-called digital circuits (technically, analog circuits that operate nonlinearly to provide a physical implementation of a digital abstraction) our world—the source and destination for signals and data—steadfastly remains an analog system. There’s hardly an area or application in our industry—from power supplies to photonic interfaces—that doesn’t depend on the multiparametric behaviors of physical devices and interconnects.
So that, in an outsized nutshell, is what the Analog & Mixed Signal Community is about. It’s a huge canvas—far bigger than one person can fill—which is why I’m using my first stroke of the brush to invite your participation. Read and respond, or better still, initiate topics you believe are of interest to the rest of the Community. Meanwhile, I look forward to our interactions.
