Figure 18. Lightly Loaded Backplane vs R
TT
(Driver in Slot 1, Receiver in Slot 3)
All termination resistances again show incident-wave switching, with noise margin gained as the
termination-resistor value is reduced, but all resistances are within acceptable noise-margin
limits. This shows a very important point; reducing C
t
by increasing slot spacing, reducing stub
length, using devices with a lower C
io
, or a combination of all three reduces the loaded
backplane capacitance, allowing a higher termination-resistor value to be used.
C
t
can be calculated again, and should be the same value as obtained for the fully loaded case.
Optimum R
TT
, in this case, is 46 Ω (interpolated from Figure 18).

= 230 ps/in. × 2.07 = 475.1 ps/in.
Therefore, flight time is 16.98 in. (17 slots × 0.94 in. + 1 in.) × 475.1 ps/in. or 8.1 ns.
Round-trip flight time from slot 3 to the load, and back, is 16.2 ns.
The observed settling time is 15.5 ns.
