Dear*,

   

I have few questions regarding the FX3 Layout:

   

1) what  is the minimal distance from signal to signal in GPIF II Interface? Can I use 8mil(0.2mm)?

   

2) In what range i have to length match the GPIF II interface? what is the largest mismatch?

   

3) If the larges signal length is 1in in  GPIF II , do I have to use series resistor termination?

   

Best Regards.

1) It is recommend to provide signal to signal distance about 3-5 time the width of the signal trace

   

2)  It is recommended that all lines on the GPIF II bus could be length matched within 500 mils.

   

3)  The 500 mil requirements ensures that the delay between the signals lie within 1% of the total period considering the typical propagation delays for stripline and microstrip traces in PCBs (150 to 200 ps/inch). We also recommend using 22-Ω series termination resistors to avoid reflection on these lines.
