Hi folks, I have got a basic problem to choose a PAD for GMII interface. The system requires a PAD which could drive a 5 pF loading in 1ns rise time. If I can choose a PAD which could drive a 3-inches long, 50 ohms transmission line and meet spec. . What if I use the same pad to drive a 15-inches long, 50 ohms transmission line? The lump capacitance may increase to be 5 times of previous case. Will it " slow down " the rise time of the PAD ? Thanks, C.Y.
