Abstract :
The influence of transmission-line interconnections between high-speed ICs on time jitter and oscillations is investigated. Simple but flexible methods for estimating these effects are proposed and proved by measurements and simulations. The estimations are based on small-signal reflection coefficients. Moreover, various line terminations are discussed. A special gigabit-per-second bipolar IC was fabricated for the experiments
