12-Layer Impedance Controlled HDI PCB on High Tg FR-4 Substrate

(Custom PCBs are tailored products; the images and specifications provided are for reference only.)


General Description

This impedance controlled PCB is built on FR-4 material with a Tg of 175°C, designed specifically for signal transmission. It features a 12-layer construction with a thickness of 2.0 mm. The board includes 2+N+2 HDI vias and is finished with white silkscreens (Taiyo) on a green solder mask (Taiyo) and immersion gold on pads. Both signal trace and differential pair impedances are carefully controlled. The base material is sourced from ITEQ, and the panels are fabricated per IPC 6012 Class 2 using provided Gerber data. Each shipment contains 20 boards.

Impedance Control in PCB Design

The characteristic impedance of conductors on printed circuit boards is crucial for high-frequency circuit design. It's essential that the characteristic impedance aligns with the requirements of connected devices. Variations in impedance can lead to signal distortion, necessitating strict control during design.


Factors affecting impedance include copper track width and thickness, dielectric constant, pad thickness, and ground layer paths. Controlling impedance helps mitigate signal reflection and electromagnetic interference, ensuring the stability of PCB performance.


For precise calculations, refer to empirical formulas for micro-strip and strip line impedances on PCBs.
