12.2.2.2 USB 2.0 Trace Length Pair Matching
USB 2.0 signal pair traces must be trace length matched. The maximum trace length
mismatch within a USB 2.0 signal pair must be no greater than 60 mils.
12.2.2.3 USB 2.0 Trace Length Guidelines
Use the following trace length guidelines.
12.2.3 USB_RBIASp/USB_RBIASn Connection
Intel recommends designers short the USB_RBIASp and the USB_RBIASn pins at the
package and then route to one end of a 22.6 ฮฉ ยฑ1% resistor to ground. Place the
resistor within 0.50 inch of EP80579. Avoid routing next to clock pins. The following are
the general recommendation for the USB_RBIAS:
โข Route on top layer (recommended, not required).
โข50 ฮฉ+/-15% single ended impedance/impedance defines trace width.
โข Signals must be Ground referenced.
โข Spacing requirements may be reduced to 4mil through the pin/via field.

Notes:
1. The numbers in Table 63 are based on the following simulation assumptions:
a. An approximate 1:1 trade-off can be assumed for the motherboard trace length vs. the daughter
card trace length (e.g., trade 1 inch of daughter card trace length for 1 inch of motherboard trace
length).
b. The trace length on front panel daughter card has a maximum trace length of 2 inches.
c. USB twisted-pair shielded cable as specified in the USB 2.0 Specification was used.
2. For front panel solutions, signal matching is considered from EP80579 to the front panel header.
