Multi-Level Signaling

Originally presented at DesignCon 2000
Santa Clara, CA
February 1, 2000

Each member of the DesignCon panel was asked to spend ten minutes speaking about the future of backplane design. I suppose I could have prepared a talk about the far, distant future. About the use of optical backplanes, or perhaps about some of the work going on with quantum-level devices. I might have even invented a kind of quantum-tunneling backplane structure for this talk.

However, thinking about what matters most to you--that is what structures are you likely to see in the future later this year--I decided to address something fairly practical, close-in, and which I believe has a better-than even chance of affecting your designs in the near term.
