Mini review comments


    Cross talk analysis.
    The cross talk coefficient is influenced by many different factors, e.g.: he coupling capacitance
    between interconnects, the relative switching interval, the proximity to the power plane, etc.
    For this board's stackup and considering 1ns rising edge, we have -21.02 dB calculated cross talk
    coefficient on micro strip traces running 10 mils apart for 4 inches and -18.81 dB on similar stripline traces.
    We performed cross talk analysis on some relevant nets on the Pulsar board using ICX.

    Trace analysis of some lvds signals was performed with and without xtalk effect considered.

    MultiBoard trace analysis.
    Signal integrity tests were done for some nets on the Pulsar Board together with
    HotLink Rx and Tx mezzanine cards using the IS_MultiBoard  tool by Mentor Graphics.
     

    Effects of Rs termination for traces on a test board with the same stackup as the Pulsar were further analyzed.
    Trace delay can be reported in the ICX analysis or, in case of a point-to-point unterminated transmission line
    it is 1/4 of the ringing period.
