When you say "shielded" by VSS or VCC, do you mean with a trace to both sides on the same plane? Or do you mean shielded by the adjacent planes? If the former, how far apart are the shielding traces tied to VSS/VCC relative to the wavelength of the highest frequency of interest? ----- Original Message ----- From: "naresh vijay" <nareshv_63@xxxxxxxxx> To: <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 11:07 PM Subject: [SI-LIST] Different types of Critical Net Shilding > A Very Basic question? > > What is the diffrence between following three cases. > > 1. net shielded on both side by Ground(VSS) > > 2. net shielded on both sides by supply(VCC) > > 3. net shielded on one side by VCC and other side by > VSS. > > 4. net not at all shielded but have wider spacing in > its surrounding (equivalent to above cases in width > perspective). > > and how these cases affect the efective resistance and > capacitance values of the net. > > expert response to these questions are highly > appriciated. > > Thanks in advance. > Naresh > > ===== > Naresh K.
