PCB Design - Advanced Routing TechniquesWhich PCB parameter is most directly adjusted to control impedance of a trace?ASolder mask colorBCopper thicknessCTrace widthDVia sizeCheck Answer
Step-by-Step SolutionSolution:Step 1: Identify factors affecting impedanceTrace width and dielectric thickness mainly affect impedance; copper thickness has minor effect.Step 2: Select the parameter commonly adjustedTrace width is the primary adjustable parameter to control impedance during PCB layout.Final Answer:Trace width -> Option CQuick Check:Impedance control = Adjust trace width [OK]Quick Trick: Change trace width to control impedance easily [OK]Common Mistakes:MISTAKESChoosing copper thickness as main controlThinking solder mask affects impedanceConfusing via size with impedance control
