82575 Ethernet Controller Design Guide

7.1.4.1Signal Termination and Coupling

The four differential pairs of each port are terminated with 49.9 Ω (1% tolerance) resistors, placed near the 82575 controller. One resistor connects to the MDI+ signal trace and another resistor connects to the MDI- signal trace. The opposite ends of the resistors connect together and to ground through a single 0.1μF capacitor. The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the 49.9 ohm resistors, using a wide trace. Stubs created by the 49.9 Ω (1% tolerance) termination resistors should be kept at a minimum.

Do not vary the suggested component values. Be sure to lay out symmetrical pads and traces for these components such that the length and symmetry of the differential pairs are not disturbed.

7.1.5Signal Trace Geometry for 1000 BASE-T Designs

The key factors in controlling trace EMI radiation are the trace length and the ratio of trace-width to trace-height above the reference plane. To minimize trace inductance, high-speed signals and signal layers that are close to a reference or power plane should be as short and wide as practical. Ideally, this trace width to height above the ground plane ratio is between 1:1 and 3:1. To maintain trace impedance, the width of the trace should be modified when changing from one board layer to another if the two layers are not equidistant from the neighboring planes.

Each pair of signal should have a differential impedance of 100 Ω. +/- 15%. If a particular tool cannot design differential traces, it is permissible to specify 55-65 Ω single-ended traces as long as the spacing between the two traces is minimized. As an example, consider a differential trace pair on Layer 1 that is 8 mils (0.2 mm) wide and 2 mils (0.05 mm) thick, with a spacing of 8 mils (0.2 mm). If the fiberglass layer is 8 mils (0.2mm) thick with a dielectric constant, ER, of 4.7, the calculated single-ended impedance would be approximately 61 Ω and the calculated differential impedance would be approximately 100 Ω.

When performing a board layout, do not allow the CAD tool auto-router to route the differential pairs without intervention. In most cases, the differential pairs will have to be routed manually.

Note: Measuring trace impedance for layout designs targeting 100 Ω often results in lower actual impedance. Designers should verify actual trace impedance and adjust the layout accordingly. If the actual impedance is consistently low, a target of 105 – 110 Ω should compensate for second order effects.

It is necessary to compensate for trace-to-trace edge coupling, which can lower the differential impedance by up to 10 Ω, when the traces within a pair are closer than 30 mils (edge to edge).

7.1.6Trace Length and Symmetry for 1000 BASE-T Designs

As indicated earlier, the overall length of differential pairs should be less than four inches measured from the Ethernet device to the magnetics.

The differential traces (within each pair) should be equal in total length to within 50 mils (1.25mm) and as symmetrical as possible. Asymmetrical and unequal length traces in the differential pairs contribute to common mode noise. If a choice has to be made between matching lengths and fixing symmetry, more emphasis should be placed on fixing symmetry. Common mode noise can degrade the receive circuit’s performance and contribute to radiated emissions.
