Let MindShare Bring High-Speed Design to Life for You
The speed of today's logic devices mandates that the interconnect on PCBs must meet the high switching rise/fall times of these devices. Switching edges are in the 200ps to 300ps range and some devices have edges that reach 17ps. This results in high-speed design problems such as:
- A lack of control over impedance and reflections
- Crosstalk and bypassing failures
- Time delays, false triggering and reflections
- Failure to meet EMI and FCC requirements
It is the edge rate, more than frequency, which exacerbates high-speed design challenges. Even if your design is of moderate frequency, the edge rates can cause your design to exhibit high-speed effects.
