Rayas Sánchez http://iteso.mx/~erayas [email protected] Signal Integrity and High-Speed Interconnects January-May 2006 Return Paths The return paths in microstrips are very different to those in striplines For striplines, the current distribution in the two reference metallic planes can be very different Usually, the return path is considered as an ideal short circuit. However, any parasitic inductance in the return paths can significantly affect the signal integrity in both the return paths (metallic planes) and the signal trace Dr. J.E.

Rayas Sánchez http://iteso.mx/~erayas [email protected] Signal Integrity and High-Speed Interconnects January-May 2006 Using Decoupling Capacitors Ideally, the metallic reference planes should be pure short circuits at the signal frequency range The metallic reference planes essentially behave as capacitors Decoupling capacitors are used to lower the metallic planes impedance at the frequency of interest Dr. J.E.

Rayas Sánchez http://iteso.mx/~erayas [email protected] Signal Integrity and High-Speed Interconnects January-May 2006 Ground Bounce Ground bounce refers to a change in the reference voltage caused by switching currents in the return paths It is also called “Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN)” or “Delta-I Noise” It is mainly produced by the parasitic inductance in the return path The problem gets worse in digital systems when many drivers are switching simultaneously Dr. J.E.
