2.22.1.5.Crosstalk Consideration

Crosstalk-induced noise must be carefully minimized. Crosstalk is the principal cause of timing skews and is the largest part of the tRMATCH skew parameter.

2.22.1.6.Impedances

Motherboard impedances should be controlled to minimize the effect of any mismatch between the motherboard and an add-in card. An impedance of 60 Ω ± 15% is strongly recommended. Otherwise, the signal integrity requirements may be violated.

2.22.1.7.Line Termination

Line termination mechanisms are not specified for the LAN connect interface. Slew rate-controlled output buffers provide acceptable signal integrity by controlling signal reflection, overshoot/undershoot, and ringback. A 33-Ω series resistor can be installed at the driver side of the interface, if the developer has concerns about overshoot/undershoot. Note that the receiver must allow for any drive strength and board impedance characteristic within the specified ranges.
