2.9 Questions and Answers



Q1. Which one is a more accurate method of analyzing clock and data signal relations.

A. Time of propagation of clock and data signal
B. Distance on PCB of clock and data signal

Q2. In a design, timing between the clock and data signal is required to be matched. Clock signal is routed in stripline and data signal is routed in microstrip. Then

A. The clock signal will have smaller length
B. The data signal will have smaller length
C. Both clock and data signals will be equal

Answer and Explanations


1. A, the receiver IC seed the timing difference. Although as a PCB designer we will work primarily on distance
2. A, Signal travels slower in stripline and requires smaller length.
