Doug,
Based on rule of thumb, the propagation delay of PCB is about 4 inch/ns
including loading, the round trip propagation delay for PCI speedway has to
be 10ns. Therefore, the maximum trace length for PCI is 4 inch/ns x 10ns /
2 = 20 inch.

I hope it helps to you.

Best Regards,

Subject: [SI-LIST] : RE: PCI routing rules

Does anyone have any information on PCI routing rules. I am trying to
determine the maximum trace length between PCI devices and have been
struggling with the 10nS time margin. Is there a formula to determine the
maximum trace length between PCI devices?
