Overview
PCB layout
y is one of the last steps
p in the design
g process
p and
often one of the most critical
High-speed circuit performance is heavily dependant on
layout
y
A high-performance design can be rendered useless due to a
poor or sloppy layout
Today
Today’ss presentation will help:
z Improve the layout process
z Ensure expected circuit performance is achieved
z Reduce design time
z Lower cost
z Lower stress for you and the PCB designer

Summary
www.pcbhwdesign.blogspot.com
Summary
y
High speed PCB design requires deliberate thought and attention to detail!
Load the schematic with as much information as possible
Where you put individual components on the board is just as important as
to where you put entire circuits
Take the lead when laying out your board, don’t leave anything to chance
Use multiple capacitors for power supply bypassing
Parasitics must be considered and dealt with
Ground and Power planes play a key role in reducing noise and parasitics
New packaging and pinout options allow for improved performance and
more compact layouts
There are many options for signal distribution, make sure you choose the
right one for your application
Check
Ch k ththe llayoutt and
d check
h k it again
i
Successful High Speed PCB design is a combination of education and
experience and sometimes a little luck!

Summary
y
Work directly with PC board designer as they most likely will not
understand proper RF layout techniques
Provide
P id designer
d i with
ith a drawing
d i off the
th location
l ti off the
th critical
iti l high
hi h
frequency components and transmission lines
Instruct the board designer that transmission line widths and
g
lengths are very
y critical and must be exactlyy as calculated
Place the components to minimize the length of RF
interconnections
Generally try to place components in a “straight line” to avoid
feedback loops and instabilities
Place circuit blocks such as oscillators, mixers, amplifiers in
separate sections on the board if possible
Do NOT mix digital,
g , low level analog, g, or bias traces with RF
interconnects to avoid unwanted coupling
Locate the components operating at the highest frequencies close
to board interconnects
With the PC board designer
designer, check
check, and recheck the layout before
sending out for fabrication
