There's little data available as far as I've seen. For ordinary FR4 I =
did
not find anything.
Rogers states eg. for their RO4003 that the Er thermal coefficient is
+40ppm/K.
The expansion coefficient is specified as x: 11ppm/K, y: 14ppm/K, z: =
46ppm/K
--> For this material the mechanical expansion is of the same order of
magnitude as the change of Er.

Mathias

Betreff: [SI-LIST] Re: PCB signal speed over temperature


We discussed this a bit here. The only thing that you would expect to =
change
with temperature would be the dielectric constant of the PC substrate =
and
its thickness (throuhg temp coefficient of dimensions). I haven't found =
any
specs or discussions on the temp coefficient of dielectric constant or =
PC
board material, but it seems unlikely that it would vary significantly. =
The
delays in active circuits vary much more with temperature, and these =
changes
are well characterized by semiconductor vendors.

One thing that does measurably change the dielectric constant is the
humidity. This effect has in fact been exploited to measure moisture =
content
by making TDR or VNA measurements. When you take a PC board from a =
cold, wet
place to a hot, dry place, allow it a few days or weeks to dry out, =
then you
may see a detectable change in propagation delay. So in that indirect =
sense,
temperature can affect propagation delay.=20

Hi,

Referring to Hermann question, can anyone help us with the temperature =
vs SI
concerns? Hope there could be some discussions on this topic :)

Thanks a lot,
Wil Choon

Subject: [SI-LIST] PCB signal speed over temperature

Hello all,

Maybe somebody can give me a hint or direct me to any ressources about =
this
topic.

On a PCB there are a lot of mechanical and electrical parameters more =
or
less dependent on temperature.=3D20 I found a lot of ressouces =
discussing
dependencies of material properties. What I would be interested in is =
the
overall dependency of the signal flight time on temperature. The =
different
temp dependencies might have different effects on flight time, and =
might
compensate or worsen each other.


- Does anybody know how much effect a temp change for e. g. 0C to 100C =
I
would have to consider for signal flight time ?
- What would be the main contributor to this change ?
- Or is the effect not even measerable at all ?

Thanks a lot

Hermann
