• Designing High Speed PCBs

    PCBs with high speeds need to be carefully designed to maximize signal integrity. High-speed boards must be constructed with properly stacked layers and shielded cables. Connectors must also have proper pin orientation for minimizing signal loss. High-speed PCBs also need to be properly matched in length and width. Dimensions When designing a high-speed PCB, one of the key things to keep in mind are the impedance and trace length. The impedance of a circuit is its resistance to the flow of an electric current. This property is crucial in PCB design because it determines the type of circuit, whether it is a differential or signal-ended one. A high-speed PCB must…
