** Proprietary ** Hi Bala, I feel that you should go for a series termination resistor ( probably = you can use resistor arrays) near the processor end. Also your bus speed = is only 66MHz. You can go for a 8 layer or 10 layer board depending on your component = density. You should have minimum 2 ground layers. Place the components = such a way that bus routing can be done with out putting more vias. That = helps a lot in reducing SI issues. As far as possible place the components = so that track length is minimum.

What topology should i follow for better layout Thanks and regards Bala ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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=20 For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: =20 //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list=20 or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages=20 Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu=20 =20 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 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
