Routing Guidelines
For a symmetric trace Z11 = Z22, the differential impedance may be calculated from this equation:
Zdifferential =
For two traces to be symmetric, they must have the same width, thickness and height above the ground plane.1 With the traces terminated with the appropriate differential, impedance ringing is minimized.
