DISTRIBUTED-LOAD BACKPLANE SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
The preceding switching characteristics table shows the switching characteristics of the device into a lumped load
(see Figure 1). However, the designer’s backplane application probably is a distributed load. The physical
representation is shown in Figure 2. This backplane, or distributed load, can be approximated closely to a resistor
inductance capacitance (RLC) circuit, as shown in Figure 3. This device has been designed for optimum performance
in this RLC circuit. The following switching characteristics table shows the switching characteristics of the device into
the RLC load, to help the designer better understand the performance of the GTLP device in this typical backplane.
