Ak. Ray et al., THE EFFECT OF RISE-TIME UPON PULSE-SHAPE AND CROSS-TALK IN HIGH-SPEEDDIGITAL INTERCONNECTS, Microwave and optical technology letters, 15(5), 1997, pp. 328-331
A lossy model for microstrip lines has been implemented in the SPICE s
imulator to investigate the effect of rise time of an input signal upo
n the output waveforms. The level of ringing and pulse deformation are
found to be related to the fast rise time given the circuit layout an
d parameters. The limits to the speed and pulse width of an input sign
al have been predicted for appropriate logic functions. (C) 1997 John
