Ravi, Slew rate usually refers to the slope of the voltage (dV/dt) on the output of a driver. For that reason a receiver doesn't have slew rate. Reflections are caused by impedance discontinuities (mismatches) in the channel. If you have a lot of reflections and not much loss (damping), you can get a lot of ringing (reflections bouncing back and forth in the T-line). But ringing can also be caused by LC effects even if there are no T-lines lines present between the driver and receiver. Check if your models have lumped RLC package models. I hope this helps, Arpad ==================================================================== -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ravikumar potluri Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2013 9:49 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Driver slew rates Hello friends, If the slew rate of driver is much higher than the slew rate of receiver does this cause reflections on the transmission line? I am simulating ADS62P49, 250 MSPS ADC chip (Driver) with Spartan 3A-DSP (Reciever). I see lot of ringing at the output even when the chips are connected directly with termination in between and with no transmission line. Could someone explain this?
