Weiheng, You may think that this is a simple question, but not on this mail list...! :) One nanosecond is about equal to six inches of trace length in a typical FR4 PCB, so a 1-inch trace would equate to ~167 picoseconds. Let the fun begin!

Usually, how many nano-seconds does 1-inch-trace's propagated delay equal to? Thank you. Regards, Weiheng ________________________________ Want to do more with Windows Live?
