Read Article A Brief Study of Stubs on a PCIe Connector Stubs are an important topic in high-speed PCB design, and there is a longstanding guideline that stubs should always be removed from all vias on high-speed digital interconnects. While stubs are bad for high-speed lines, they do not always need to be removed. What is more important is to predict the loss profile and frequencies, and to floorplan appropriately to try and prevent such losses. In this article, I’ll look at some simulation results Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page36 Current page37 Page38 Page39 Page40 Page41 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
