Chuck,
I've never measured it, so I couldn't tell you for sure. > 40 ma for a 5 ma
(constant current source?) driver sounds like a lot. On the surface, it
seems like the driver would burn up. What was the duration of the event?
How much external capacative loading were you using?

Hi Ken - I have a Q on this.
I have done simulations on BGAs and looked at the
current waveforms that the sims predict. Instead of the
*wimpy* 5mA or so that the manf puts in the data
sheets, I am observing >40mA at the switching
transitions. I put this down to primarily the
momentary short that exists as the device chages state.
Have you (or others) similar experiences or are the
data sheets accurate?
Incidentally as an EMI guy the >40mA is extremely
interesting to me..!!

Or go to a class 1 if you are using a class 2 (7.2 mA vs 15.7 ma)

Sure you can, don't you have an external series resistor and parallel
terminator you can play around their values ?

I cannot reduce the drive strength, the drivers are SSTL2. We reduced
the SSO noise significantly by turning off half the data bits.

What's wrong with reducing the driving strength of the drivers in the
FPGA ?
Are you at the limit of the lowest possible drive strength already ?

This discussion has turned quite interesting. There have been several
comments which imply that the only way to reduce SSO noise in an
FPGA/ASIC is to add decoupling at the die or inside the package. These
are fixes which only the device manufacturers can make.
Does anyone have measurement/simulation data on what effect adding many
decoupling capacitors under the BGA package, between VCC and ground
balls, will have on the SSO noise?
Thanks and regards,
Fabrizio
