PCB Design - Advanced Routing TechniquesWhy is it important to maintain consistent impedance along a high-speed PCB trace?ATo increase the mechanical strength of the traceBTo reduce the cost of PCB manufacturingCTo improve heat dissipation from the traceDTo avoid signal reflections and maintain signal integrityCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Understand impedance consistency importanceConsistent impedance prevents signal reflections that cause data errors in high-speed signals.Step 2: Eliminate unrelated reasonsCost, mechanical strength, and heat dissipation are not directly related to impedance consistency.Final Answer:To avoid signal reflections and maintain signal integrity -> Option DQuick Check:Consistent impedance = Signal integrity [OK]Quick Trick: Consistent impedance keeps signals clean [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESConfusing impedance with mechanical or thermal propertiesThinking impedance affects cost directlyIgnoring signal integrity importance
