David,
I 've done some sso analysis on lvds before and came to the conclusion
that
the spikes caused by sso are not proportional to the sso number. These
are
usually very narrow spikes on the power and ground rails, and have very
little
impact (ground bounce and power droop). However, what I was concerned
about
was the pulse width jitter on the switching line. AS the sso number
increases,
you will notice higher PWJ which may lead to some timing problems. This
is
because these spikes can cause variable delay in the switching signal
which can
be easily measured by veiwing the eye diagram of your signal.
