Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hi Experts, I am running simulation on 6 Gbps interconnects to study the effect of common-mode chokes. I have S-parameter models for the common-mode chokes obtained from the vendor. The Differential Insertion Loss for these chokes is about 1.75 dB and 3 dB at 6 GHz, and Single-ended Insertion Loss is about 10 dB to 12 dB. I am using Cadence PCB-SI simulator. The Channel Simulation doesn't run because the Impulse waveform is all messed up. If I perform regular time-domain simulation then the eye is practically closed. Without the chokes the eye height is 800 mV. Is it possible that the high common-mode loss is affecting the simulation results. Is there another way to verify these components. Thanks for the help.
