  • Differential Pairs have been used in PC boards for years to carry high-speed signals, in a variety of bus formats. Many Board Designers and Engineers believe the rules for differential pairs are the same in a PC board as they are in a cable or twisted pair of wires. This is NOT the case! This keynote will discuss the advantages of differential pairs, which format gives the best impedance control, what is the right spacing between lines of a pair, what’s important in differential pair routing, and how much skew is really acceptable.

    A superb video.
    This highlights for me how much of the PCB design-rule "received wisdom" passed between engineers is based on a series of engineering old-wives-tales and rules of thumb, rather than techniques based on hard-facts and physics-based design principles.

    Wow, this has been really enlightening. I only started working with differential pairs this past year and to think I was so wrong on some of the things I thought about them. I'm really wondering if there's much benefit to having differential pairs for same-board transmission vs just a well routed single-ended signal. Considering he said about 85-90% of the coupling is between ground underneath, that still leaves 10% of the coupling for the trace to trace influences. Maybe that's enough to make a difference in some designs. Considering DDR is single-ended, it would seem that single-ended transmission for same-board transmission is just fine! I had used differential pairs for deserializing a data stream from off-board so that's why it was needed in my design, but I think I was starting to travel down the path of just thinking they were better for signal integrity inherently. Great talk.

      Haha same here. At my work the bosses think any one who enjoys sitting in front of a PC can be a layout guy. Better a guy off the floor who has interest in PC than a real engineer that understands the physics. As long as the boards come out in time the lower pay to the layout guy the better. We have huge EMI problems, always spending weeks fixing products to pass, and we have horrible layouts, but nobody believes the board is a source of EMI! Todays high frequency challenges require a true understanding of electromagnetics. Layout is now a post graduate study, or the very least the person needs true interest in the physics involved and constantly willing to stay educated.

    some points were wise, but some were a brute oversimplification bordering on inaccuracy. I have a few years of analog, RF, mixed signal chip design in mutli-GHz range. take that example of routing the diff lines on opposite sides of the chip. well... what if you were to rout a bunch of vias running an aggressor signal orthogonal to the differential lines plane? Ampere and Maxwell would come back from the dead to smack you in the face in a form of bad differential interference 🙄 and then some peculiar definition of jitter 🤔

    • @dzidmail
      @dzidmail 6 місяців тому

      If those vias were close to the diff pair, then it would be fine because the noise would induce in both lines equally? Is this different from the example in 36:32 which implies asymetric noise injection anyway?

    • @romyaz1713
      @romyaz1713 6 місяців тому

      ​@@dzidmailif an alternating current passes through a wire loop, it induces some alternating current in that loop. think of the separated diff lines as a loop that closes through the loading diff stage input cascade. you would have induced a diff noise this way

      Ohm's law isn't V = IR. That's a gross oversimplification, and the full formula is still just an approximation which makes many assumptions about materials and behavior. Real world is a bit different, especially with high frequencies and RF.
