Chapter 4: PCB Materials and Traces
A good PCB manufacturer understands controlled impedance and allows fine adjustments
for line widths to produce a Z
0O
of 50Ω . The PCB manufacturer also provides the
parameters necessary for the specific PCB layout. Some parameters can be calculated or
simulated from the guideline outlined in the example. Although ±10% tolerance on Z
0O
is
typical and can provide adequate performance, the additional cost of a tighter tolerance
results in better channel performance.
