Hi Gurus, I have a question regarding clock generator net topology. The net consists of clock generator and CPU/MCH. The guideline recommends add a resistor nearby clock generator due to the circuit is current mode current steeling. Simulation depicts the signal quality will be better if I remove the resistor close CPU/MCH. Especially, the waveform is more flat than the design follows guideline. However, measurement reflects the inverse trend. I don=A1=A6t know the reason. Theoretically, the resistor placed close receiving end will reduce reflection and ring. Simulation also depicts the same expectation. But the guideline and measurement presented this idea is wrong. Why the simulator (SPECCTRAQuest/SPEED) can=A1=A6t show the correct behavior in this issue? Thank you in advance.
