#PCB DIFFERENTIAL TRACE IMPEDANCE CALCULATOR FREE#
Use the Saturn PCB toolkit it is free and it alco can compensate for the plating trapezoid shape of the traces and other production process variables. With Er=4.6, conductor with=0.17mm and dielectric height of 0.08mm the effective Er is 3.2215.īut the EEWeb Edge Coupled Microstrip Impedance Calculator not giving me the same values as the polar si800 field solver or the free Saturn PCB toolkit. Although for this calculation you will need the effective Er because the top of the trace is not embedded in FR4.

The default Er is 4, but usually the ER for standard FR4 is around 4.6. Does the presence of these resistors change anything in terms of the calculations above? E.g., because the resistors are already providing 22 ohms, should I in fact be aiming for 23 ohm single-ended impedance rather than 45, or something like that? The Renesas RZ-A1 recommends 22 ohm ones. Next part of the question – I understand that series termination resistors are needed on D+ and D.

Using the EEWeb Edge Coupled Microstrip Impedance Calculator, I find that the spacing between my traces should be 0.098mm in order to achieve this. The Fairchild application note also says that the differential characteristic impedance of the D+ and D- lines should be 90 ohms. Using the EEWeb Microscrip Impedance Calculator, I find that with 1oz/ft^2 copper and a substrate height of 0.08mm, my trace width should be 0.17mm in order to achieve this 45 ohms. This application note from Fairchild, which is one of the top Google results, says that D+ and D- trace single-ended impedance should be 45 ohms. I'm designing a PCB featuring a Renesas RZ-A1 microcontroller, and want to check that I'm doing my USB D+ and D- traces correctly.
