Hi, I recently came across a validation platform where the LVDS differential lines are routed as single ended traces traces instead of tightly coupled differential pairs. The motivation I found was so that they could use each of the pairs as single ended traces when needed as well. When I probed deeper it seems like the person who proposed this scheme has left. So I would like to seek help here on some clarification - Will a scheme like this impact the performance of the differential pair ? Since I understand that differential routing is more immune to noise. - What are the considerations/feasiblity studies that need to be done before implementing a scheme like this ? - Since this is a validation platform what measures can be taken ensure that the performance seen are similar to a production platform if the production platform is routed in differential. Thanks in advance for the feedbacks. Have a great day. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
