PCI-X Layout Guidelines

8.5PCI-X Topology Layout Guidelines

The PCI-X Addendum to the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 1.0a compliant, recommends the following guidelines for the number of loads for your PCI-X designs. Any deviation from these maximum values requires close attention to layout with regard to loading and trace lengths.

8.641110 Layout Analysis

The following sections describes layout recommendations based on the signal integrity analysis. This analysis was conducted using the following parameters:

Card stack up: 60 +/- 15% single-ended impedance

Driver Model 41110 IBIS

Receiver Model: generic models for PCI-X and PCI

Driver Package Model: 41110 Model

Cross talk and ISI impact on timing were not modeled
