PCB Design - Advanced Routing Techniques
You need to route a high-speed USB differential pair on a multilayer PCB. Which combination of advanced routing techniques best ensures signal integrity?
AIgnore impedance and focus only on minimizing PCB size.
BRoute signals on separate layers far apart to avoid interference.
CUse controlled impedance traces, match trace lengths, and route pairs close together.
DUse random routing and add extra vias to improve signal speed.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify key advanced routing techniques for USB differential pairs and evaluate options

    Controlled impedance, length matching, and close pair routing reduce noise and reflections. Use controlled impedance traces, match trace lengths, and route pairs close together combines all correct techniques; others ignore critical factors or add harmful practices.
  2. Final Answer:

    Use controlled impedance traces, match trace lengths, and route pairs close together. -> Option C
  3. Quick Check:

    Impedance + length + spacing = Signal integrity [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine impedance control, length matching, and close routing [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Separating pairs too far increases noise
  • Ignoring impedance causes reflections
  • Random routing adds signal errors
