Hi Steve , Thanks for the Reply!! The traces are about 6 mil wide & about 15 mil spaced.I believe i can conveniently consider them as loosely coupled (I have margin to increase the spacing to 18 mils). The models are not available from the vendor.That's the whole issue .. The values of 8.3 nH/inch & 3.3 pf/ have been from the same book. regards Sunil steve weir <weirsi@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Sunil, look at the circuit model. Set up the model with a driver working against the two line sections. Compare that model to the case of a driver and a single line. For the loosely coupled case I hope the resulting parasitic values will be obvious from inspection of the circuit diagram. If not, I recommend Eric Bogatin's book, "Signal Integrity Simplified".
