If I want to get the target impedance based on frequency, I do simulation with ibis model. Every spice simulator can show the current result during operating, so we can get the target impedance. Many engineers have a rule of thumb where all data bits operate simultaneously or randomly. Good luck! 2009/2/13 Lakshmi Narayanan Sowrirajan, TLS-Chennai < lakshminarayanans@xxxxxx> > Hi, > > > > I am working in PDS analysis.
