Ray Can you please post this to Si-list (until such time as we resolve
my posting issues)
----------------------------------------
This Micro-strip Strip-line thread is an interesting discussion that I
have previously pursued off-line with a few colleagues/list members. I
would love to see hard bench data that is a true apple to apples
comparison in time and frequency domains. =20
I have past experience in board shops and typical Micro-strip processes
do exhibit higher variations and until recently always preferred
stripline environments. But recent 2D/3D simulations have led me to
believe that Micro-strip can be designed to produce 'longer' working
links. =20
A number of folks I have discussed this issue with agree that=20
Microstrip usually has
Higher crosstalk=20
More difficult to control Z0=20
Lower dielectric losses (not including Solder mask)
Can avoid via stubs =20
Stripline usually has
Lower crosstalk
Homogenous environment (except for glass weave)
Higher dielectric losses
Via stubs
But what happens when you are routing high-speed differential networks
(Module and/or Backplanes) and you want to accurately compare theses 2
unique environments with similar routing densities.
Equivalent line widths/lengths between stripline and microstrip,
Microstrip with LPISM (Solder mask) and no via stubs, Microstrip
conductor shape not as well controlled.
Dual stripling - Single reference plane (second plane far away),
Stripline with Via stubs.
