Abstract:

There are many companies who are creating high Speed Communications systems 
that contain switch fabric busses that run at 155-200Mhz. Typically these 
busses are implemented using differential pair technology. Based on our 
experience implementing these busses for our customers, we will introduce 
the audience to design concepts behind the electrical (Timing, signal 
integrity) and layout/routing. We will also describe procedures that can be 
used within the Mentor suite of routing and SI analysis tools to guarantee 
the implemented switch fabric will operate at successfully.
