The flight time will always remain the same and has nothing to do with a well or poorly behaved t-line. Whether the flight time is fast or slow depends only on the dielectric constant of the substrate. This confusion is caused because you are trying to bucket the driver delay, receiver delay and the interconnect delay in different bins. The best way would be to model the whole path, driver input->interconnect->receiver o/p and then quantify the impact of fast and slow skew corners of the devices.

If you have a not-so-well-behaved circuit (i.e., have signal ringback across threshold), the fast corner conditions may cause the signal to settle later than for the slow corner conditions, so you CAN get a larger flight time with the fast corner conditions.

When I am doing a simulation with a fast driver, fast transmission line, and fast reciever I am more concerned with the Min switch time (Min flight time). Is the settle time (max flight time) that SQ displays a use ful parameter here??. Because to find the max flight time u make use of the slow driver, slow line, slow reciever. Am I missing some thing in how to interpret the values. Regards, Rahul. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
