Dear Chai,

the reason for the different results is the thickness of your trace! In
configuration (1) you get a distance to the nearest reference plane of =
(a -
35 my) =3D 165 my. In configuration (2) your distance to the reference =
plane
is equal a =3D 200 my. So you get for (1) a lower impedance than for =
(2). You
have to check your materials and than select configuration (1) or (2).

Subject: [SI-LIST] Stripline Characteristic Impedance



Dear all,

I have a question regarding the stripline characteristic impedance Zo.
I have the following stack-up:

Reference plane -------------
a
Trace                ---

b

Reference plane -------------

where a<b.

When I used impedance calculator to get Zo, I have 2 ways to key in a =
and b=20
values:
(1) Use the stack-up shown above.
(2) Reverse it upside down, as shown below:

Reference plane -------------

b

Trace                ---
a
Reference plane -------------

I got different values for Zo.
For example, a=3D0.2mm, b=3D0.4mm, trace width=3D0.15mm, trace =
thickness=3D0.035mm,=20
and dielectric constant=3D4.5, approach (1) gives 51ohm while approach =
(2)=20
gives 54ohm.

Can someone tell me which one is the correct value?
Thank you very much in advance.

Chai
