Hi all,


 I am a new member in this mailing list. I am very much intrested in Signal
Integrity.Can any one provide me the websites that gives us the basics
required to stand strong in this field. I appreciate the help provided.

Thanks anr regards,
Chandra Kanth

Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Back of the envelope termination resistor calculation


I think following papers is a good reference. You can
get it from IBIS site.

"Things You Can Learn From V/I Curves, IBIS Summit DAC
2005, Todd Westerhoff, Cisco Systems, Inc."

I have a question is about the output impedence of
differential signals. The chip vendor told me that the
output impedence was about 3 kohm, but from the IBIS
file I only got about 200 ohm. It is a const current
source. The large output impedence looks correct, but
their FAE said that their IBIS file was no problem.

Does somone meet this problem also?
