Impedance Matching in HDI PCB Design

Impedance matching in HDI ( High- Density Interconnect ) boards is intended to prevent transmission errors, especially losses caused by transmission line resistance and the dielectric properties of the printed circuit board. Microvias can be used to create manufacturing-friendly PCB layouts in impedance-matched systems. BGA escape routing and dogbone fanout structures enable impedance matching in HDI PCBs. When do PCB traces...
