I am looking for some insight into a design which requires controlled
impedance. We have been provided with the following design:
Proposed Build Customer Spec
Layer 1 Signal (1/2oz Cu) Layer 1 Signal (1/2oz Cu)
13mil prepreg 7mil prepreg min.
Layer 2 Plane (1oz Cu) Layer 2 Plane (1oz Cu)
8mil core 5mil core min.
Layer 3 Signal (1oz Cu) Layer 3 Signal (1oz Cu)
16mil prepreg No spec on prepreg
Layer 4 Signal (1oz Cu) Layer 4 Signal (1oz Cu)
8mil core 5mil core min.
Layer 5 Plane (1oz Cu) Layer 5 Plane (1oz Cu)
13mil prepreg 7mil prepreg min.
Layer 6 Signal (1/2oz Cu) Layer 6 Signal (1/2oz Cu)
Using the following variables, they are looking for the following
impedance values:
Er = 4.84
T = 1.4mil (trace thickness)
H = 13mil (distance above plane)
Layer 1 with Ref Plane 2, 75ohm with 8mil conductor
Layer 4 with Ref Plane 5, 75ohm with 10mil conductor
After all that, this is my question,
1. They appear to be treating the Layer 4/5 combination as an
Embedded Microstrip. Is this a valid assumption, or will the trace
act more like an Offset Stripline between Layer 2 and Layer 5?
I would appreciate any feedback, both on or off-line on this
subject.
