High impedance drives your stackup geometries

Posted May 24, 2011, by Patrick Carrier

Anyone that’s ever tried to put 75-ohm video onto a PCB stackup knows how high impedance will drive layer thicknesses.  Most busses operate using 50-60 ohm impedance, which means you would typically use dielectric thicknesses of around 5 mils to achieve those impedances.  But 75-ohm video on a PCB requires dielectric heights more in the 8-10 mil range.  Not a big deal, but those greater heights will … Read More
