The designers are constantly challenged to improve the performance of an electronic product. At the same time, the designers need to consider the effects of high-speed signals in a PCB design since continuously increasing clock frequencies and decreasing rise times may lead to signal integrity issues.
The designers are constantly challenged to improve the performance of an electronic product. At the same time, the designers need to consider the effects of high-speed signals in a PCB design since continuously increasing clock frequencies and decreasing rise times may lead to signal integrity issues. This requires higher frequencies to be used, and frequencies of 50MHz to 3GHz have become very common.
Designing high-speed PCBs is crucial to support real-world applications. Signal transmission problems are prominent when a PCB deals with high-speed signals. An excellent high-speed board is the one that integrates various components and routing while avoiding signal integrity issues. The three main challenges that we are facing in high-frequency boards are signal integrity, EMI/EMC, and dielectric loss.
The following factors that require attention while dealing with high-speed signals in a PCB design:
- What is a high-speed signal in PCB?
- Why is there always a signal distortion at high-frequency?
- When do we need to take care of signal integrity in high-speed PCB design?
- Techniques to overcome signal integrity issues in high-speed PCB Design
- Quick tips for high-speed PCB designers
- Materials for high-speed PCBs
- Why is it important to include design simulations and checks in high-speed PCB design?
