Hi,Avtaar it depends on how long your trace. For serdes, the FR4 always is not a problem. In the stage of chip design, it has considered the effect of Loss using circuit method to overcome it. i think you should get a idea about what your chip is used for, the using AMI model get a rough estimation.
