the recommended board stack-up's parameters. For the recommended stack-up shown in
the calculated capacitive coupling maximum value is represented by the following relationship:

As shown in

aforementioned parameters are:

When a stack-up that is employed does not adhere to the recommended stack-up, a new extraction
must be made for the stack-up using a 2D field solver program. According to the 2D field solver
results, new coupling calculations must be performed to ensure that the coupling results are less
than the aforementioned capacitive coupling maximum value of 8.15 percent. When the coupling
results are greater than the maximum value, additional system-level simulations must be performed
to avoid any signal quality issues due to crosstalk effects.

Signal Propagation Time-to-Distance Relationship and Assumptions

Due to the high-frequency nature of some interfaces and signals, length matching may or may not
exist as part of the routing requirements for a given interface. In general, the tolerances that
specific signals in a bus must be routed to are stated as a length measured in mils or inches and are
specific to the recommended motherboard stack-up (refer to
matching tolerances for signals listed in this design guide may be stated as a measurement of time.
In such cases, the correlation of the period of time to an actual length value depends on board
stack-up.
Based on the recommended stack-up, the signal propagation time to distance relationship, for the
purpose of this design guide, is as follows:
