Signal integrity

Signal integrity is the ability of an electrical signal to carry information reliably and to resist the effects of high-frequency electromagnetic interference from nearby signals. Effects: CrossTalk, EM.

Crosstalk:
Switching of the signal in one net can interference neighboring net due to cross coupling capacitance. This affect is known as cross talk. Crosstalk can lead to crosstalk-induced delay changes or static noise.

• Signal Electro Migration: Electromigration is the permanent physical movement of metal in thin wire connections resulting from the displacement of metal ions by flowing electrons. ectromigration can lead to shorts and opens in wire connections, causing functional failure of the IC device.
High current densities cause wearing of metal due to EM.
