Dear Dima,
 
Thank you for your response. After downloading the application note for the
web site, I find
it is exactly what I am looking for.
 
However, I got a little confusion about common mode impedance in the paper
"Characterization of Differential Interconnects from TDR Measurement"
,DIFF-1199.pdf.
 
On the page two, equation 3, the common mode impedance is Z_common=Zeven /
2.
 
Checking the article "Differential impedance ... finally made simple"
(CAPGLTIF.pdf) by Eric Bogatin, from www.BogatinEnterprises.com,
<http://www.BogatinEnterprises.com> Slide 26, I find the
Z_common=Zeven=Z11+Z12.
 
Checking the HP54754A TDR user's manual, I find a description with
measurment waveform shown
"The common mode impedance of two 50 ohm uncoupled lines is 25 ohms". It
match what you described Zcommon.
 
Shall the Z_common be Zeven/2 or Zeven?
 
To meet Zdiff is always mentioned when doing PCB impedance control. Usually,
I totally forget Zcommon
when try to meet Zdiff. What circumstance shall I maintain Zcomm , instead
of Zdiff , or both?
 
 
Thank you for your inputs.

John:
 
Even and odd mode TDR analysis will give you a pretty good model for your
connector.
 
You may want to check our application note on SCSI connector and cable
characterization and the more generic appnote on differential line
characterization, which can be found on www.tdasystems.com/support.htm
<http://www.tdasystems.com/support.htm> . The appnotes discuss in detail
characterization of differential lines in SCSI connector/cable assembly.
 
Thanks,
 
-Dima

Subject: [SI-LIST] : connector model for differential signal

Dear SI gurus,

How to do connector modeling for differential signals, such as SCSI on a
backplane?

Usually, I am used to use IPA510 modeling software with TDR to build a
connector pin model.
The IPA510 will generate a Z-profile for the connector pin, create a RLC
model, and then run spice simulation to verify model's accuracy. All
mentioned above are for single connector pin. But, how about differential
signals on the connector pins? What does the model look like?

Thanks for your comments in advance.
