Greeting Signal Integrity Experts;
My apology if I am asking off target question with the impedance
tolerance...but
doesn't impedance of the board gets defined based on the "target impedance"
of specific application (i.e ASIC) and its tolerance based on the worse
case condition
of current draw( and its variation) and the noise tolerance of specific
sensitive circuit
or Core in design? I mean with cost aside that experts discussed and I
think it is extremely
important, doesn't application dictates the tolerance?
Regards;
Don Pakbaz

I don't think those who responded understood the question correctly. I
think
the OP was asking whether some degree of impedance control can be achieved
by precisely specifying the board's stackup, width of the traces, and
process tolerances without explicitly asking the manufacturer to control
impedance. For some applications it just boils down to the cost. If I, as a
designer, know the process and materials used by the particular
manufacturer
well enough I should be able to specify the board in such a way that the
impedance will end up in the right ballpark. In fact, I use this method
for
non-critical designs.
