Mick--
T_r is independent of the frequency you are running; it is determined mainly
by the physical makeup of the buffers driving the signal.  You could easily
have a 50MHz signal with a 100ps rise time.  Conversely, you could have a
1Ghz signal with a 300ps rise time.  The signal would not be very square, of
course, but could still work.

I guess the bottom line is that creating a rule for rise time in terms of
period is not at all valid.  The two are independent.

I think you touched another point. Most of them are talking about data rate
and frequency, you are talking about the field bandwith (frequency). I can
not see direct relations between the two although we have a rule of thum
saying that t_r ~ T/10. Where T is the period. Obviously they are different
GHz with different physical meanings.

Mick

Joe,

There is relation between rise/fall time and bandwidth (base band
transmission)

BW*tr=0.35.

where BW is the bandwidth of the transmission link, tr is the resultant rise
time (if a square wave is transmitted via the link). For example, if
BW=3.5GHZ, then tr=0.1ns

Once you get the tr, you can decide the bit rates in Gbs of the link.

Hope it helps,

Yibing

Dear Si Expert,

Just a silly question.  How would you convert Ghz to Gbs? What is the rule 
of thumb?

Thank you in advance,

JOe
