Hi Barthi, Your question is how the characteristic impedance of the PCB is affected by high temperatures (100°C)? The Temperature shouldn't have a big influence on impedance. The series resistance will increase, but the result will just be higher losses. The board sice will increase with temperature, but each differential pair will just see fractions of this extra size, in my eyes not enough to worry about impedance changes. I don't think you have to worry about temperature related impedance changes on regular PCB at all, but I can't proof that with simulations or measurements.

Appreciate if anyone sends the literature related to the topic Thanks Barthi ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
