Reduce Signal Integrity Risks in Medical System PCBAs

Solution Briefs

Medical imaging systems provide extraordinary value in helping doctors diagnose and treat patients. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems now include increasing amounts of software to filter, de-noise, enhance, and segment images of greater grayscale or color depth and resolution. To support these advanced features, it is essential that the PCBAs run with high signal integrity, with minimal impedance mismatches, jitter, and voltage level variability. Furthermore, this high signal integrity must run on a board with typically has many layers, vias, fine pitch traces, and power rails at various voltages.

This solution brief explains how the Keysight D9120ASIA advanced signal integrity software (crosstalk) for Infiniium 90000-, V-, Z- and UXR-Series oscilloscopes provides fast, accurate equalization with fast update rates and rapid analysis of real-time eyes that have been partially or fully closed. This lets engineers reduce patient risk and produce medical systems with greater efficacy.
