Which PCB parameter is most directly adjusted to control impedance of a trace?
ASolder mask color
BCopper thickness
CTrace width
DVia size
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify factors affecting impedance

    Trace width and dielectric thickness mainly affect impedance; copper thickness has minor effect.
  2. Step 2: Select the parameter commonly adjusted

    Trace width is the primary adjustable parameter to control impedance during PCB layout.
  3. Final Answer:

    Trace width -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Impedance control = Adjust trace width [OK]
Quick Trick: Change trace width to control impedance easily [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Choosing copper thickness as main control
  • Thinking solder mask affects impedance
  • Confusing via size with impedance control
