Mustafa- 50 Ohm +/- 5% would be 50 +/- 2.5 ohms (47.5 ohms to 52.5 ohms) 50 Ohm +/- 10% would be 50 +/- 5 ohms (45 ohms to 55 ohms) It would take tighter control efforts with the smaller tolerance (+/-5%) -Ray Senior signal Integrity Staff Engineer Xilinx Inc. > -----Original Message----- > From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Mustafa =D6zg=FCr TUTUM > Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 5:14 AM > To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [SI-LIST] impedance question >=20 > Dear all, >=20 >=20 > I think, I misunderstood smt about impedance tolerance. >=20 > Which one is tighter?
