Hello to all I am designing a differential receiver operating at 2Gbps. I have a couple of questions the 1st one being is it benificial to use pi termination or a single resistor termination for each line the 2nd one being my termination is on chip so will pi termination be better with regards to fabrication layout etc etc ? The tx line in my case is a 10cm micro strip line on a fr4 board,The geometry is as follows 5mil wide , distance between the edges is 5mil and the dielectric height is also 5 mil. Zodd=60 ohm and Zeven=50ohm approx. Thanks a lot srivatsan -- I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. AE --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss?
