Parameter Routing Guideline for Lower AD Bus
Reference Plane Route over an unbroken ground plane
Board Impedance 60 Ω +/- 15%
Stripline Trace Spacing 12 mils from edge to edge
Microstrip Trace Spacing 18 mils, from edge to edge
Break Out 5 mils on 5 mils spacing. Maximum length of breakout region can be 500 mils
Group Spacing Spacing from other groups: 25 mils min, edge to edge
Trace Length 1 (TL1): From
41210 Bridge signal Ball to
first junction
0.5” min - 3.0” max
Trace Length: TL_EM1: from
41210 Bridge signal ball to
the first embedded device
2.5” min - 3.5” max
Trace Length TL_EM2 -
TL_EM3: from junction to the
embedded device
1.5” min - 3.5” max
Length Matching
Requirements:
Clocks coming form the clock driver must be on the same layer and length
matched to within 25 mils.
Number of vias 4 vias max per path
