FreeLists / si-list / [SI-LIST] Resistor packs, SI issues?

["Anders Frederiksen" <af@xxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I've encountered a constraint on the signal allocation in resistor packs. The
application is a DDR-I interface. Frankly I was quite puzzled to see that Intel
specifically prohibit routing DQS (strobes) and other (ie. data mask) signal in 
one
respack!
If it weren't for the notes I'd never blink mixing <200MHz signals in respacks. 
I'm
using 0804 packs and fail to realize that cross talk could be a big problem 
here? Of
course the signals are raised from the reference plane and the horizontal 
spacing
between the signals is, say, double up for discrete resistors (or separate 
packs).
Is it the base material used in the packs that cause "issues"? Or am I 
completely
missing something??? I haven't been able to find any investigations regarding 
use of
respacks - so I'm very interested in hearing about your experiences/opinions!

Cheers,
 Anders
