R: [SI-LIST] Impedance Mismatch due to neck downThanks guys for the
responses.
One reason for which we do not want to have 4-5 mil traces all the way is
the resistive loss.
5 mils within the DUT and then gradual increase to 8 mils looks like a
pretty good solution.

  I agree with Paul, a slow signal would not notice the 1-2 cm long trace
impedance mismatch.
  But you could think to make 5 mils traces ewerywere too. 65 Ohm is not so
high but there are some simple ways to reduce it further.

  If you choose a dieletric thickness around  0.150mm you'll obtain an
impedance of 50 ohm.
  Isn't er=4 too low? with an er=4.3-4.4 the impedance reduces from 65 to
60ohm.
  With a 8 mil trace and er=4.4 -> Zo=47ohm. Is it what you would like to
obtain?

  Hi Experts,
  The board that I am using is of a stripline setup with 8mil traces (1 oz
  Cu), FR-4 (4.0) and 10 mil dielectric thickness which gives 50ohm
  (relatively low speed). The BGA is tightly pitched and I have to neckdown
  traces around 4-5 mils which gives impedance mismatch (65.4 ohm). Neckdown
  is a must but I also want to avoid impedance mismatch, is there any way of
  doing it? Does doubling help? (looks like this would give a parallel of 2
  65.4ohms = 32.7, worse than what I have).

  Thanks in advance,
  Qazi
