Murali, I will provide some general insight below, but I must strongly encourage you to at least a google web search to start reading some materials, or even better, if you will be staying in si, purchase a book or two (the si-list archives are full of recommendations). In short, the crosstalk induced on a victim net, by any number of aggressor nets will be the mutual capacitance and mutual inductance between the victim and the aggressors, as well as the e-field and i-field strengths. (other things like source and dest impedance makes a diference, as well as stackup in the vertical direction). A quick insight would be to visualize one etch, in cross section, traveling into yor computer screen. Now draw several concentric circles eminating outward from the etch (all circles are centered at the etch). If a second etch, parallel to the first etch, is in anny of the concentric circles the second etch (victim) will be effected by what signaling fields are on the first (aggressor) etch. The inner fields are stronger than the outer fields and in general you will see an inverse proportion to distance ^2. NOTE: I have taken many liberties and made many oversimplifications in the above description, please read some material on the topic.

I am using SpectraQuest to check cross-talk. My Question is something like this: Say we have 4 data lines D0,D1,D2 and D3 going from chips U1 to U2. The trace length of all the four data lines are different and distance between each line is less than 4 MIL. Now these lines switch from 0000 to 0010 [D3D2D1D0]. My question is will D1 effects D0 and D2. Can anybody please help me out to understand the concept of cross talk. Also i am new to specctraquest.Can any one tell me the setup in SQ to perfrom cross talk.I am confused with the help provided by SQ.
