channel bandwidth high speed PCB Channel Bandwidth: The Right Way to Qualify High-Speed PCB Interconnects If you read high-speed PCB design guidelines from semiconductor manufacturers and non-experts, they always talk about the use of rise time to analyze signal integrity. Signal rise time is important, as it determines things like EMI, crosstalk, and delay tuning tolerances. If your design is operating at gigabit-per-second data rates and faster, your rise time typically ends with delay tuning, and all other signal integrity factors are analyzed in Read Article
The Right Way to Use Power Planes in a 4-Layer PCB Stackup The Right Way to Use Power Planes in a 4-Layer PCB Stackup Many products are manufactured on four-layer PCBs, and these are something of an entry-level stackup for many designs. From a signal integrity and EMI/EMC standpoint, the easiest four-layer stack to use is the Sig/GND/GND/Sig stackup, as it enables high-speed digital routing with controlled impedances on both sides of the board, but without a requirement for coplanar ground on the surface layers. Although this is the best stackup from a signal Read Article
Signal Integrity Article 3 Enhancing Signal Integrity in PCB Design: Key Considerations and Strategies In high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) design, ensuring signal integrity is crucial to achieve reliable and efficient performance. Signal integrity refers to the preservation of the quality of electrical signals as they travel through the PCB, free from distortion and noise. Several factors influence signal integrity, including via design, ground plane strategies, and design for manufacturability (DFM). This article explores these critical Read Article
