Effect of Slow Aggressor Signal Slew Rate on SSN

Crosstalk is inversely proportional to rise time. There is an increase in crosstalk when the aggressor signal has fast rise and fall time.
Equation 1. Crosstalk Equation

To decrease SSN caused by crosstalk, use the slowest slew rate for potential aggressor signals, especially when multiple I/O signals are switching simultaneously.
