Hi I am new to signal integrity analysis. I came across the value of Zo = 50 ohms in many design notes. Q1) can anyone tell me why this value is chosen? Q2)why this value cannot be any other value say, 100 ohms. Q3)Is the value of 50 ohms has anything to do with the PCB maufacturing process? regards pawan kalyan ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
