I'm running a ~400MHz LVDS bus (source synchronous, data on both edges of clock) from a main board through a connector to a daughter card. For various reasons I'm using loose coupling on the main board, routing each line as single-ended 50 Ohm. The bus is terminated into 100 Ohms at the load on the daughter card. I am not designing the daughter card so it's likely that the diff pairs will be tightly coupled there. My question is whether switching from loose coupling to tight coupling across the connector is ok. My instincts say it's fine as long as lengths within each pair are closely matched to my side of the connector, but I don't have the tools to simulate it. Any potential for problems here?
