Abstract :
How the long differential via stub influences the time-domain response and the eye diagram of the signal trace in a thick multilayer printed circuit board is investigated. Then, it is proved that RL termination has the same efficiency as R and RC terminations on improving signal integrity and the eye diagram. Finally, a method is proposed to mitigate the influence of the via stub by combining mismatched R termination and reflection gain at the receiving end.
