Hi experts,
I have couple of (3GHz Nyquist) SERDES stripline traces that have GND as
reference plane.
Instead of GND if I use an unrelated power (say 3.7V Main board power)
plane, will there be any impact on return path (huge loop?) in this
situation, if there is no bypass capacitors located close to either Driver
or Receiver?
(there will be bypass capacitors on the board however for this unrelated
power, but not close to Driver or Receiver)
If I want to use an unrelated power plane as reference can I use bypass
capacitors locating one at the driver and one at the receiver so the return
path (with smaller loop) can easily be established ?
Is there a way to simulate this ? because the simulation tools only have
option to include a reference plane that is either GND or the VDD plane of
the traces that we are simulating.
Thank you,
Pratap
