FreeLists / si-list / [SI-LIST] Paper on BGA crosstalk and power system

[Mark Alexander <mark.alexander@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,
Some of you may have already attended this, but I wanted to draw your 
attention to a WebCast seminar and accompanying paper that was released 
yesterday.  The topic is a joint study by Xilinx and SigCon (Howard 
Johnson) of crosstalk and power system noise in FPGA systems.

The paper:

The archived WebCast (might not be available until tomorrow):
http://www.xilinx.com/events/webcasts/tol/01feb05.htm#3

The WebCast is a full hour with Q&A at the end; the paper /seems /long 
but is actually pretty easy to read.  I especially like Howard's 
explanation of the crosstalk model of power system noise and why it's 
appropriate to the large BGA scenario.

I'd be very interested to hear feedback from people on the list -- 
factors we didn't consider, overall usefulness of the information 
presented, ideas for future studies on the same measurement platform. 

Thanks!
mark
