RE: [SI-LIST] Re: jitter introduced by a mated connectorDon't you just love
fixing the old stuff first?  Ditto here Keith.  Amp and some of the other
vendors have come a long way in the last year.

Hi Keith:

I don't have time to look up the part number but it sounds like a simple pin
header. Amp/Tyco do have some pretty good SI people on board who might be
able to answer your question. Call your local Tyco rep with your specifics
plus check out their web site for who to call/e-mail.

Good Luck

  thanks for getting back to me.   The connector we would like to
  use is a 3-row 16-pin per row totalling 48 pins... / standard amp
  #650489 ,0.1" centers etc. ,, legacy connector for sure! Do I have any
hope?
    I don't think I can get a rating from AMP, I'll try but I doubt it.
  Since this is a legacy based product , it's not ideal coax nor a very
  good grounding schema too...  would a card edge be better/ like an AGP
style connector?

  Keith,
  You also might consider something in addition to what Kai is talking
about.
  Make sure your connector(s) are rated for the frequency that you are
working
  at.  I ran into a legacy connector (in this case the end connector to a
high
  speed coax cable) that was only rated to 1 ns.  Didn't work too well at <
  500 ps.

  Keith:

  The jitter introduced by the connector will be what is called
deterministic
  jitter which is bit pattern dependent. Do you have access to any version
of
  spice? You can get a pretty good idea of this jitter by running a bit
  sequence through the single line connector model (obtained from your
  connector vendor). Cross-talk will also add to your jitter but the
  simulation gets more complicated.

  Can some point me in the right direction regarding
  the min/max jitter introduced by connectors within
  a backplane system ??

  - I'm looking into GBit Ethernet type
  signals and wondering how many passes through connectors
  The system can withstand.. .... I know this is a tough question...
  I don't mind learning some new math tricks...Assume that
  the signals of interest are diff-pairs / FR4 , etc...18" between
  connectors (max)...

  Does anyone have any experience with Diff pair signal integrity
  using a QualitySemiconductor / quickswitch and passing GB diff
  pair signals thru this type of device?

  feel free to email me direct, if you want.



  Thanks,
