Hi All, I have a basic doubt on the start touting technique. As per the app notes it is mentioned for star routing for signals as match the impedance of the main bus with the impedance of the long trace that connects to multiple devices. With this case suppose if there is a trace of 50 ohm coming out of a chip and when I need to connect multiple devices in star topology do I need to maintain all the branches to 50 ohm itself? Whether all the branches on the star routing is considered as parallel traces. Is my assumption is correct? If we are maintaining all the branches to 50 ohm then what is the effective impedance at the star point junction? Please give ur suggestions.
