But the ringing should settle well before the next edge giving some sort
of source termination.

Remember it's not the frequency but the edge rate and at 300ps worst
case and assuming 180ps/in the full wavelength is roughly 150mm.  This
will reflect off the OC.

If the frequency is really about 2MHz (or a wavelength
of about 500 feet ) then I anticipate you
won't have much of an SI problem!=3D20

Hi Everyone,

I have question about signal reflections, I have added some specific
data=3D3D
but rule of thumb answers are all welcome as i'm new to SI! I have a
bi-directional signal that is loaded with an LV-CMOS transceiver=3D3D  =
at
5pF on
each end and a dt_r/dt/f of approx. 0.3 to 0.5 ns. The frequency of data
across this is about 2 MHz.  The=3D3D  distance between the two buffers =
is
about
15mm.=3D3D0D This signal needs to be observed externally with a logic
analyser
for test=3D3D  purposes.=3D3D0D The track between the two transceivers =
is =3D
t'd to
a
test connector giving a=3D3D  t'd track length of about 150mm.=3D3D0D In =
=3D
normal
operation the analyser would not be connected so the long track=3D3D
section is
o/c; when connected to an analyser then you could probably add a metre
to
the total track length.

In this case, what sort of SI problems would I expect to see, both with
the=3D3D
track o/c and also plugged into an analyser? Would series termination be
sufficient to prevent reflections, or should=3D3D  the test signal go
through a
buffer (last resort really) before the test connector?


Regards

James
