Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Guys; Has any one were able to find the "pdf" of the paper in web? I did sear= ch and I can only find the Designcon 2009 listing of papers presented not the contents of paper. I= f anyone has found it and can share it will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

So if I understood it right, if low bit rate signal is data signal then= chances of SI problem will be minimal but if it's strobe or reset signa= l then we must analyse it for SI problem. As a follow-up question...I would like to know how to handle SI problem= in low bit rate signals like strobe or reset signal. do we need to take s= ome special precaution or just need to have controlled impedance & resistiv= e termination ? I don't think that I have ever seen resistive termination= in reset/strobe signal. rajneesh On Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 7:00 PM, Faraydon Pakbaz <pakbazf@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Content-type: text/plain; charset=3DUS-ASCII > Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable > > Hi Istvan, Tesla; > > If I am not mistaken this is the paper than Istvan had in mind.
