Back a few years ago, engineers used expensive high-end oscilloscopes to perform signal integrity validation (SIV) on their designs, and considered that adequate in determining the success of a design. But with today’s products, process and parameter variations occur that require system marginality validation (SMV) to be done by less expensive software-based tools, to determine if a design is ready for high volume production.
