[SI-LIST] Re: Non monotonicity in daisy chain topology

Hello All,

The daisy chain topology is and always be an issue.  Loading stub
lengths and bus impedance are the predominant effects.  The daisy chain
topology, also known as Multidrop technology, is well documented at TI,
National Semiconductor, and NESA websites. There are a few white papers
out there on MLVDS and BLVDS technologies. You should also know that the
Advanced TCA backplanes have a multidrop clock architecture that is
advertised to run at 100Mbps.

Regards
-Ed Sayre 3rd
