Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system for signal optimization adjustment based on different heat source information. The system includes a plurality of heat source measurers, a first system chip, a second system chip, an electrical interconnection, and a bit error risk evaluator. The first system chip includes a signal transmitter, and the second system chip includes a signal receiver. The second system chip provides an electrical characteristic state of the signal receiver, and a signal adjustment information of the signal transmitter and/or the signal receiver. The bit error risk evaluator performs a signal optimization adjustment for an electrical characteristic of the signal receiver according to the electrical characteristic state. The present disclosure further provides a method for signal optimization adjustment.
