Han, As you did not mention how long the line is, one thing to watch that the combination of line length, capacitance, and series termination do not cause a change in the DC level: a complete low or high transition may not be possible and this reduces the voltage margin. I noticed this last month on someone's board where the series termination allowed a 1.3V initial transition, but the signal average value was 2V. This was a very long line for 100MHz, but adding a capacitor could have a similar effect. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
