Cross talk will always be lowest when the signals use a continuous return path. But not all interconnects provide a continuous return path. In packages, connectors, vias and gaps in planes, the return path has discontinuities. In these cases, and when multiple signals share the same return path, the cross talk will be much higher than for a uniform plane. We call this sort of cross talk, ground bounce. We will introduce the most important fundamental principles of ground bounce, how to measure it and how to avoid it in your next design. If you care about ground bounce, and everyone should, this seminar is for you.
