Staring at schematics to determine high-speed signal design considerations is complicated. Signal integrity simulators feel like a big unpeeled onion to me. Along with intuitive tools, each step leads to the next and pretty soon you’re sending commands from your smart phone to your food processor before you get home. It would be nice if all of life were so simple, and I suppose it is if you can just break each task into a simple series of steps. You pick up an onion, a knife, and get going.
Sometimes the biggest onion can’t be peeled.
