Table 30. Ethernet MDI Interface Signal Routing Requirements
Trace Impedance Diff pair / Single Ended
±15%. Differential impedance target is 100. 90can be used if 100
is not achievable
Min Trace Spacing (Pair-Pair)
Max Within Pair (Intra-Pair) Skew
Ideally there should be no vias, but if required for breakout to Ethernet
controller or magnetics, keep very close to either device.
Table 31. Ethernet Signal Connections
ESD device to GND per signal
Gigabit Ethernet MDI IF Pairs: Connect to Magnetics +/ pins
