Hello all, Thanks for the reply, i understood it. One more related point to clearify . I am doing IO driver simulation running at frerquency less that 250 Mhz . Capacitive load at farend is given equal to 4pF along with txline of 3cm. (Z0 = 50, Co = 1.5pF / Cm , Td = 60pS / cm ) 1. Can i take equivalent capacitance to 4pF + (1.5pF *3) = 8.5pF for my first order IO calculations. ( Transitions ) . 2. I am taking ELDO ( simulator ) lossless txline model which takes Z0 and Td as parameter. By doing this can i assume safely that i have taken account of Transmission line capacitance of 4.5pF. Or do i need to take lossy transmission line model and ask for more parameters. Thanks for the help. Rahul <rtatikola@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Rahul, > > Definitely not frequency dependent.
