PCB Design - Advanced Routing Techniques
Which technique is typically applied to increase the length of a shorter PCB trace to match longer parallel traces?
Which technique is typically applied to increase the length of a shorter PCB trace to match longer parallel traces?
easy🧠 Conceptual Q2 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify length adjustment methods
Trace width changes or substrate changes do not affect length.Step 2: Use serpentine patterns
Serpentine (meander) patterns add physical length without changing layout area significantly.Final Answer:
Adding serpentine or meander patterns -> Option CQuick Check:
Serpentine patterns increase trace length [OK]
Quick Trick: Serpentine patterns add length without changing width [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing trace width with length
- Thinking substrate affects trace length directly
