14 years agoOutput driver settings for I/O pins
All, We have a design where electromagnetic coupling is causing signal degradation of output signals from our CPLD to neighbor CPLD connection to the point where edges are being misinterprete...

14 years agoI think increasing current driver strength would indeed increase your problems since it is supposed to generate faster edges, then more emi.
The solution is a better and emi aware pcb design, possibly inserting series termination resistances on long traces. But I guess you can't change anything in your actual pcb. Then you must somehow filter out the generated noise, but the optimal solution depends from several factors, i.e. operating frequency and type of signals involved.
