Hi, I have the book"A handbook of black magic" and found that si problems are mostly related to distributed systems (if I understood it correctly). I have tried multiple simulators and am now wondering if there are never signal problems on wires short enough to maintain the status of being a lumped network. Eg. If I have a driver (SSTL) and an unterminated transmission line of one inch and a receiver (SSTL). I will have some reflections. Will I have this for 0.1 inch transmission line as well, or will that signal be perfect? The reason I am asking is that I have seen two simulators that say differently. One has reflections and the other has not. Can the parasitic information used be the result or does one simulator simulate wrong? I do have an opinion in this, but I will keep it to myself in order not to have my opinion commented. It is my question that would probably confirm my findings. Also I do not wish to give simulator names here, since I do not want tofavor one over the other, if I have misunderstood anything.
