Hi
Can someone explain to me why the voltage overshoot of Max V is so high? and how to improve this voltage overshoot ? Here is an example I captured from an oscilloscope. In this case the undershoot of rising edge and overshoot of falling edge are almost at the same voltage level. http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12389&stc=1 Thanks.

Hi,
how are you probing this? The screenshot looks like a typical case of probe-induced ringing. If you have a second, equal probe, connect the second probe to the same point. The measured signal must not change, otherwise you know your probe load is too high, and you'll need a probe with less load (e.g. an active one). Then it could be ringing due to impedance mismatch. This should only be a problem if the signal propagates through a long trace. However, maybe some termination would help, even if it's not perfectly matched (if I decipher your tiny screenshot correctly, the signal has only 10 MBit/s). The simplest termination would be to add an e.g. 50 Ohm series resistor near the Tx end. Best regards, GooGooCluster- Mark as New

It looks the the ground wire on your oscilloscope probe is either disconnected, or too long.

Hi
I made a simple 50 Ohm termination as you suggested and the voltage overshoot becomes much better. Thank alot GooGooCluster.- Mark as New
