As both a signal integrity engineer and a driver designer I can say that the
problem Roy speaks of can be solved technically rather easily. However it
involves a business tradeoff. Specify something 'odd' to your semiconductor
partner, pay NRE to achieve your ideal edge rates, pay a higher parts cost for
your 'special' part and then have your vendor sell your design to your
competitors OR invest in comparitively cheaper SI tools and engineers. I think
SI engineers will be gainfully employed for quite some time.
