Anyway, I don't know why you would need a capacitor at the end, either - like I said, you calculate the characteristic impedance of your trace based on your PCB properties, copper weight, trace width, etc., and then you put a resistor of that value at the end of your track. Of course if your track winds around like crazy and you have lots of layers with various other things underneath your signal, your impedance will be changing all the time, and you'll get reflections out the wazoo everywhere. Maybe I'm not understanding what is actually happening, or what you've tried before, but this certainly seems like the way to go. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
