Hi Kamesh, Thanks for the reply, please find the below understanding for the numbers given, correct me if I am wrong. --------------- (1) 4mil spacing --------------- (2) 8mil spacing (2X spacing b/w pairs) --------------- (3) 4mil spacing --------------- (4) SP12 = 4mils = 0.0001016 meter SP13 = 12mils = 0.0003048 meter (2X spacing between adjacent pair) SP14 = 16mils = 0.0004064 meter (4mil space to form the second differential pair) SP12 = 4 mils (SP14-SP13) = 16-12 = 4 mils I am doing simulation by changing both SP13 and SP14 keeping the differential spacing as 4 mil constant and changing the pair to pair spacing to get crosstalk levels for different air gap levels. Calculation for 3X spacing ------------------------------- SP12 = 4mils = 0.0001016 meter SP13 = 16mils = 0.0004064 meter (3X spacing between adjacent pair) SP14 = 20mils = 0.0005080 meter (4mil space to form the second differential pair) SP12 = 4 mils (SP14-SP13) = 20-16 = 4 mils Even with the above steps I am not seeing any change in the crosstalk voltage. Thanks & Regards Lakshminarayanan.

To vary the space between the pairs, you should vary both SP13 and SP14 equally so that (SP14 minus SP13) is always stays constant and same as SP12 since they are pairs. From your data it looks like you are varying only SP13. -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lakshmi Narayanan Sowrirajan, ERS-HCLTech Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 12:14 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: HSPICE xtalk simulation Hi All, Awaiting for your reply for the below request.

With the SP parameter in the U model definition we will be able to define the distance between the conductors. Please let me know how we can specify different spacing between each conductor. Refer below configuration for the same. L1-L2 => 4mils L2-L3 => 8mils (2x spacing) L3-L4 => 4mils Basically I would like to have x-talk simulation for two differential pairs (1,2 & 3,4) with different spacing, say 2X, 3X & 4X. Please let me know how I can do this with the U element or any other elements. U1 208 216 109 106 0 105 102 111 108 0 micro1 L=0.076200 .model micro1 U LEVEL=3 PLEV=1 DLEV=1 ELEV=1 LLEV=1 NL=4 wd=0.0001524 ht=0.000254 th=0.00003556 thb=0.00003556 SP12=0.0001016 SP13=0.0003048 SP14=0.0004064 KD=4.2 I have used the above command lines. But even by varying the SP13 I am not seeing any change in the x-talk voltage at node 108 & 111. Differential stimulus is driven at 208 & 216. Thanks & Regards Lakshminarayanan.
