Hi Razeen, This Spacing very less to transfer Capacitive coupling current between adjacent traces so that that will produce common model voltage ,Could you please check with your fabricator in order to achieve this differential impedance, Otherwise you can any 3D field solver to calculate the Capacitive coupling .

The lengths of the P/N are the same, since it is a Pre-SI analysis. Single end imp was 113ohms and diff imp was 95 ohms Is it recommended to use loose coupling or can we proceed with the current trace width n spacing. Will there be any EMI problems because of that ?? Kindly clarify Warm regards, Nithin -----Original Message----- From: Mohanty, Sarada [mailto:Sarada.Mohanty@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 12:04 PM To: O Nithin Bharadwaj; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Syed Razeen Raj Mohamed - ERS, HCL Tech Subject: RE: A query in High speed Signal Integrity analysis Hi Nitin, Common mode return loss issue could be reason of mismatching differential Skew between P/N pair and tight coupling between P/N pair. Common mode could not always terminated because of mismatching ground reference between P/N (P with ground & N with ground). It Can be reduced by properly terminating with common model termination or matching with P/N differential skew with tight tolerance.

It's a Pre-SI analysis and when I look at the s-parameters the Differential Return loss and Insertion loss meets the requirement. And when i observe the common mode return loss fails to meet the requirement. What is the impact if I violate the common mode return loss spec? What is the benefit to me beating it? Kindly let me know your valuable comments so I can give my recommendations to my layout team for routing.
