Hello,

   We have some issues with a SerDes which we think
may be related to the trace width on the serial line.  The
serial  port is a differential pair passing data at 3 Gb/s.
The trace width is 4 mils.  Length is approximately 5 inches.
The differential impedance is 100 Ohms.  Other information
which may be of use is the board material is FR-4 with an
Er of 3.9.  It is specified at this data rate.

  My question is:  Are the traces too narrow?  Should I
expect better performance with 8-mil traces?

Thank You
