We previously discussed impedance discontinuity and signal reflection in our PCB transmission line series. Reflections occur due to impedance discontinuity.| Sierra Circuits
High clock frequencies and decreased rise times are some of the effects of high-speed signals in a PCB design, leading to signal degradation.| Sierra Circuits
Propagation delay (tpd) in PCBs is the time taken by a signal to travel through a unit length of a transmission line.| Sierra Circuits
Manufacturing controlled impedance PCBs requires due attention to dielectric material and trace width, height, thickness, and stack-up arrangement.| Sierra Circuits
