In this chapter, we first review the technology evolution path for computer chip-to-chip communications and I/O buses. We then discuss jitter and signaling tests for the specific chip-to-chip standard technologies of PCI Express, FBDIMM, and SATA, along with testing requirements, test methodologies, and illustrations of solutions from case studies. Lastly, we discuss future technologies that are promising for transferring data at rates of 10 Gbit/s or higher with low cost and high volume.
