 Hello zhangkun:

        Thank you for your rapid feedback. I think If it's an ideal capacitor, 
100nF is better than 10nF. But self-resonance frequency of a capacitor is 
1/sqrt(LC), it's hard to get
 
A high self-resonance frequency for large capacitor. I find it works well in 
some design using 100nF as AC couple capacitor in lower frequency(~100Mhz). So 
I'm a little confuse on how 

The choose the value. And I'm try to ask supplier to provide S11 and S21 
parameter now.

Hi Liao

In the case of AC coupling, 10nF and 100nF is different. If you want to study 
the case, please measure the S21 of 10nF and 100nF. In my view, 100nF is much 
better than 10nF, if they are in the same package.

Hope this would be helpful for you.

主题: [SI-LIST] Whai's the influence of AC couple capacitor

Hello all:
           I'm simulating the XAUI signal at 3.125GHz, I find that the value of 
AC couple capacitor influence greatly. After I change the capacitor from 10nF 
to 100nF(both capacitor model is ideal), the simulated eyepattern(eye width and 
height) improve greatly.

I think 10nF is enough for XAUI signal, and the thru S-parameter is nearly the 
same with 10nF and 100nF capacitor. Can anyone explain how the AC capacitor 
will influence eyepattern?

          In real situation, large value capacitor need lager package which 
mean lager parasitic inductance. So what is the guideline to select this Ac 
couple capacitor??


Thank you all!
