Route RXP/N and TXP/N pairs with controlled 90Ω differential impedance (±
15%).
Keep away from other high speed signals.
Keep intra-pair routing to within 2 mils.
Make sure length matching is near the location of mismatch.
Separate each pair at least by 3 times the signal trace width.
Keep the use of bends in differential traces to a minimum. When bends are used,
make sure the number of left and right bends are as equal as possible and
that the angle of the bend is ≥ 135 degrees. This setup can minimize any
length mismatch causes by the bends and therefore minimize the impact bends
have on EMI.
Route all differential pairs on the same of layer.
Keep the number of VIAS to a minimum. TI recommends to have no more than 1 VIA
between TUSB1044A and Type-C connector and no more than 1
VIA between TUSB1044A and USB3.1 Device/Host.
Keep traces on layers adjacent to ground plane.
Do NOT route differential pairs over any plane split.
Remember that adding test points can cause impedance discontinuity; and
therefore, negatively impacts signal performance. If test points are used,
place the test points in series and symmetrically. The test points must not
be placed in a manner that causes a stub on the differential pair.
Assuming 1dB/inch loss at 5GHz, make sure the trace length between TUSB1044A and Type-C connector is no more than 1.5
inches.
Assuming 1dB/inch loss at 5GHz, make sure the trace length between TUSB1044A and the USB 3.1 Host/Device is no more than 8
inches.
Select ESD protection devices and EMI suppression devices carefully, and make
sure these devices have excellent transient performance at 10Gbps with flat
shunt capacitance characteristics over ±650mV voltage range. Note
small-signal insertion loss characteristics are insufficient to determine
suitability of non-linear devices (ESD devices) for 10Gbps operation
