Hi, Istvan, Thank you for your support! So what you mean is the dynamic phase compensation has better common mode performance. But there are would be most bump if we use tightly constraint. It could make the differential impedance un-continued. So my second question is how to define the DPS constraint? We must make come balance between the bump and the skew.

This way they contain most of the signal energy in the pair and in the differential (not common) mode. We dont like too much energy escaping (radiating away, or propagating between the planes into other signals or reflecting back from the plane edges and arriving back in the wrong time), and we also don't like common mode stuff (mode transformation) arriving into the imperfect receiver buffer. Also picked up common mode noise can be transformed into differential signal in the unbalanced segment and appear as noise at the receiver. So if there are longer segments where the 2 legs are unbalanced, things go wrong there that cannot be reversed by re-matching them at the end of the path (irreversible effects). The smaller the unbalance at the shorter segment is the better. regards, Istvan Nagy -----Original Message----- From: Xiaoguang Tsai Sent: Monday, January 14, 2013 6:59 PM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Dynamic phase compensation in SERDES layout Hi, Experts, I'm very curious that why the dynamic phase compensation(DPC)/running skew compensation is necessary in high speed SERDES layout? And how the parameters about the DPC are defined ( http://www.cadence.com/Community/blogs/pcb/archive/2010/11/03/what-s-good-about-differential-impedance-in-constraint-manager-see-for-yourself-in-spb16-3.aspx)? Thank you very much!!
