Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Anyone has any comments on simulating crosstalk on high speed diff pairs running through a "passive" backplane? The topology is as follow: 1. The driver resides on board #1. 2. This board connects to a passive backplane with only connectors. No other components (incl. decoupling) 3. The receiver is on board #2. My question is really on the effects of the GND and PWR planes (on the passive backplane) on the diff pairs and whether or not the crosstalk analysis will be accurately modeled. For Power Integrity Analysis, if the driver is on 1st board and receiver is on 2nd board and there are 2 connectors in between (with many pins inter-connecting the PWR and GND of the back plane to the PWR and GND of the 1st and 2nd board), how will the DC drop analyzed? Thanks for your feedback. ---------------------------- Cuong Nguyen <http://www.edadirect.com/> edasmall2 ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
