[SI-LIST] Curious about feedback on CTS corp clearone resistor networks.....

Hi All,

I recently ran into the data sheet for the CTS corp 

clearone resistor networks.   These are the BGA based 

resistor networks that provide a significant amount of 

terminators in a very small space.   While they certainly look

intriguing from a board real estate perspective,

parasitics due to fanout, ability to snug up to where

the termination would ideally like to be, I am curious 

if anyone has performed any validation work or run into 

a white paper regarding crosstalk or other down sides of

this technology.

As many of us know from past experiences, if something 

looks too good to be true, it probably is. Remember all

the promise of the original FCT logic?? 8-) I think that 

was most folks first experience with what aggressive edge

rates can do to an otherwise 'happy' circuit.

 

Thanks for the help.

best regards,
