Hi everybody, The video interface between a motherboard & a monitor typically consists of the following signals: 1. RED, GREEN & BLUE 2. HSYNC, VSYNC etc. My questions: 1. Are there specifications for the characteristic impedance of these signals? For e.g., the USB specification defines the characteristic impedance with which the USB signals must be routed with. I'm not too sure, but I think that the RED, GREEN & BLUE lines must be routed with a characteristic impedance of 37.5 ohms, whereas the HSYNC & VSYNC signals must be routed with a trace of characteristic impedance of 40 ohms. Could someone clarify please. 2. Are there specifications for the maximum length of these signals? As of now, I think that the length on the motherboard really does not matter. This is because, after the signals leave the motherboard, the cable that connects to the monitor is at least a foot in length. PLease comment. Thanks, Chandan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
