Basic Design Rule for Advanced PCB (3) 3. Trace 3W rule Signal trace w w Via w w w w w w Ground Plane 3W 3W 3W rule is to minimize coupling between trace and signals by providing “clean path” and by aligning the signal flux and the return flux. • Minimize RF fringe between traces • Reduce cross-talk between traces without ground guards Global Circuit

Basic Design Rule for Advanced PCB (6) 6. Conclusion • High speed PCB design requires consideration of: • Signal Propagation (Ringing & Reflection), • Interaction between signals (Cross-talk, Electro-Magnetic Interference) • High Speed PCB performance needs: • To select suitable material (FR-4, BT, Polyimide, …) • Good process control : • Stack up of layers, especially for multi layers • Uniform and stable impedance (R, L, C) Global Circuit
