What are the high speed PCB design skills

PCB gancang-gancang design refers to any design where the integrity of the signal begins to be affected by the physical characteristics of the PCB, such as layout, packaging, interconnect, and layer stacking. Furthermore, when you start designing boards and encounter problems such as delay, crosstalk, reflection, or emission, you will enter the field of high-speed PCB design.

The focus on these issues makes high-speed design so unique. Anjeun panginten biasa ngagunakeun PCB saderhana anu fokus kana panempatan komponén sareng kabel. However, when using high-speed designs, it is more important to consider factors such as their distance from the signal, the width of the signal, where they are placed and what kind of track they are. Patalina. Furthermore, with these factors in mind, it will reach a higher level in your PCB design process.

Therefore, they need to follow basic rules, such as having continuous grounding and reducing loop area by optimizing the current return path of the wire, and putting in many suture holes.

Notes for PCB design

In practice, high-speed PCB designs have many limitations for designers, as you need to meet various signal speed and other design requirements. Therefore, to achieve the high-speed circuit board design shown below, some factors need to be considered:

Schematic note: It is well known that a good schematic can lay a good foundation for PCB design. Therefore, depending on whether you are a PCB designer or an electrical engineer, the schematic diagram can be treated differently. Sacara umum, éta ngubaran skéma salaku alat komunikasi anu tiasa dihubungkeun sareng circuit board. But schematics can make a big difference in organizing and presenting your high-speed designs. Therefore, as much information as possible is available on the design schematic, such as wire length, necessary component placement, PCB manufacturer information, and so on.

Trace length adjustment: When using a high-speed interface, you need to adjust the trace length to synchronize the signal transmission with the data line. Nanging, panganteur na tiasa gagal dina frékuénsi maksimum, atanapi éta panginten henteu tiasa dianggo pisan sabab henteu disingkronkeun. Sumawona, langkung luhur frékuénsi antar muka, semakin tinggi persyaratan pencocokan panjangna. Ku alatan éta, dina kasus interfaces paralel, anjeun ngan kedah ngarobih panjang sadaya garis. It is important to be sure to adjust the length of these lines to get the desired length in a set of signals.

Differential pairs and line-length routing: It is important to route differential pairs in high-speed designs so that pairs of signals can exist simultaneously.

Crosstalk, kontrol impedansi, sareng pertimbangan paralelisme: Dina desain gancang-gancang, aya seueur faktor anu tiasa mangaruhan desain anjeun. In addition, there are techniques to consider, such as how to minimize the impact on the design.

Understand ribbon and microstrip lines: In general, for high-speed designs, it requires multiple methods of routing. If highway routing is to be implemented, it is desirable to have a better understanding of strip and microstrip routing techniques.

Cabling topology and best cabling practices: Typically, a specific shape or topology is required if the circuit paths required for high-speed cabling are to be implemented. Also, it’s good to explore various ways to track line lengths, escapes, return paths, etc.

Simulator: Kanggo desain gancang-gancang, simulasi aya manpaat pisan sateuacan, salami, sareng saatos tata perenahna dimimitian. Therefore, you should have a better understanding of PCB design software to learn tips and tricks for simulation design.

1. Is there a high-speed interface on the board?

A quick way to find out if you need to follow high-speed design guidelines is to check if you have high-speed interfaces, such as DDR, PCI-E, or even video interfaces, such as DVI, HDMI, etc.
