Differential Traces

Use controlled impedance traces which match the differential impedance of your transmission medium (that is, cable) and termination resistor. Run the differential pair trace lines as close together as possible as soon as they leave the IC (stubs must be < 10 mm long). This helps eliminate reflections and ensure noise is coupled as common-mode. In fact, we have seen that differential signals which are 1 mm apart radiate far less noise than traces 3 mm apart since magnetic field cancellation is much better with the closer traces. In addition, noise induced on the differential lines is much more likely to appear as common-mode which is rejected by the receiver.

Match electrical lengths between traces to reduce skew. Skew between the signals of a pair means a phase difference between signals, which destroys the magnetic field cancellation benefits of differential signals and EMI, results.

NOTE

The velocity of propagation, v = c/Er where c (the speed of light) = 0.2997mm/ps or 0.0118 in/ps

Do not rely solely on the autoroute function for differential traces. Carefully review dimensions to match differential impedance and provide isolation for the differential lines. Minimize the number or vias and other discontinuities on the line.

Avoid 90° turns (these cause impedance discontinuities). Use arcs or 45° bevels.

Within a pair of traces, the distance between the two traces must be minimized to maintain common-mode rejection of the receivers. On the printed-circuit board, this distance must remain constant to avoid discontinuities in differential impedance. Minor violations at connection points are allowable.
