internal layers, except for pin escapes. It is recommended that pin escape vias be
located directly adjacent to the ball pads on all signals. Surface layer routing should be
minimized. The following table provides routing guidelines for signals within these
groups.

Series Resistor 22 Ω
Nominal Trace Width

Internal (Strip Line) 3.5 mils, External (Micro Strip) 5 mils
Nominal Pair Spacing (edge to edge)

Internal (Strip Line) 10.5 mils, External (Micro Strip) 10 mils
Minimum Pair to Pair Spacing Any layer 20mils
Notes:
1. Nominal trace width is determined by board physical characteristics and stack-up. This value should
be verified with the PWB manufacturer to achieve the desired Zo.
2. Nominal pair to pair spacing is determined by board physical characteristics and stack-up. This value
should be verified with the PWB manufacturer to achieve the desired Zdiff.
