Balancing Cost, Performance, and Innovation in High-Speed Interface Design

Q&A with Dhananjay Patil The latest trends in artificial intelligence (AI), data centers, avionics, and medical devices demand extremely high-speed data processing due to the rise in computational processing. As consumers appreciate the benefits of faster generative AIs, the demand for speed is expected to grow multifold. Fast data flow between components calls for fresh approaches for manufacturing, signal integrity, and power delivery. As data rates rise, it is imperative for engineers to strike a balance between cost, complexity, and performance. As a lead hardware design engineer with 25 years of experience and currently working for FAANG company, Dhananjay Patil has designed and developed high-speed boards and knows avionics, medical equipment, networking, and consumer electronics intrinsically. Patil shares his expertise in this interview on innovative ideas reshaping printed circuit board (PCB) design. Q: As data rates rise and high-speed interfaces evolve, what challenges d ...
