Example
 A 4-layer PCB contains power and ground planes on the inner
layers and signals on the outer layers. The board uses 1 oz
copper (1.4 mils thick) and the FR4 dielectric is 8.7 mils thick.

Reflections
 When a wave hits the end of a transmission line,
part of the energy will reflect if the load impedance
does not match the characteristic impedance.
 Reflection coefficient: G 
Z L  Z0
Z L  Z0
 A wave with an amplitude of Vreflected = GVincident
returns along the line.

Example: Reflections
 A strong driver with a
Thevenin equivalent
resistance of 10  drives an
unterminated transmission
line with Z0 = 50  and flight
time T. Plot the voltage at
the 1/3 point and end of the
line.

Intersymbol Interference
 Must wait until reflections damp out before sending
next bit
 Otherwise, intersymbol interference will occur
 With an unterminated transmission line, minimum bit
time is equal to several round trips along the line

Termination Summary
 For point-to-point links,
source terminate to save
power
 For multidrop busses, load
terminate to ensure valid
logic levels
 For busses with multiple
receivers and drivers,
terminate at both ends of
the line to prevent
reflections from either end
23: I/O

22
Noise and Interference
 Other sources of intersymbol
interference:
– Dispersion
• Caused by nonzero line
resistance
– Crosstalk
• Capacitive or inductive coupling
between channels
– Ground Bounce
• Nonzero return path impedance
– Simultaneous Switching Noise
23: I/O
CMOS VLSI Design 4th Ed.
23
High-Speed I/O
 Transmit data faster than the flight time along the line
 Transmitters must generate very short pulses
 Receivers must be accurately synchronized to detect
the pulses
23: I/O
CMOS VLSI Design 4th Ed.
24
High Speed Transmitters
 How to handle termination?
– High impedance current-mode driver + load term?
– Or low-impedance driver + source termination
 Single-ended vs. differential
– Single-ended uses half the wires
– Differential is Immune to common mode noise
 Pull-only vs. Push-Pull
– Pull-only has half the transistors
– Push-pull uses less power for the same swing

High-Speed Receivers
 Sample data in the middle of the bit interval
 How do we know when?
23: I/O
CMOS VLSI Design 4th Ed.
27
Source-Synchronous Clocking
 Send clock with the data
 Flight times roughly match each other
– Transmit on falling edge of tclk
– Receive on rising edge of rclk
23: I/O
CMOS VLSI Design 4th Ed.
28
Single vs. Double Data Rate
 In ordinary single data rate (SDR) system, clock
switches twice as often as the data
 If the system can handle this speed clock, the data
is running at half the available bandwidth
 In double-data-rate (DDR) transmit and receive on
both edges of the clock
23: I/O
CMOS VLSI Design 4th Ed.
29
Phase Alignment
 If the DDR clock is aligned to the transmitted clock, it
must be shifted by 90º before sampling
 Use PLL
23: I/O
CMOS VLSI Design 4th Ed.
30
Mesochronous Clocking
 As speeds increase, it is difficult to keep clock and
data aligned
– Mismatches in trace lengths
– Mismatches in propagation speeds
– Different in clock vs. data drivers
 Mesochronous: clock and data have same
frequency but unknown phase
– Use PLL/DLL to realign clock to each data
channel
23: I/O

Phase Calibration Loop
 Special phase detector compares clock & data phase
