8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

As with any high-speed design, there are many factors which influence the overall performance. The following list indicates critical areas for consideration during design.

  • Use 85 Ω impedance traces when interfacing with PCIe CEM connectors. Length matching on the P and N traces should be done on the single-ended segments of the differential pair.
  • Use a uniform trace width and trace spacing for differential pairs.
  • Place AC-coupling capacitors near to the receiver end of each channel segment to minimize reflections.
  • For Gen 3.0 and Gen 4.0, AC-coupling capacitors of 220 nF are recommended, set the maximum body size to 0402, and add a cutout void on the GND plane below the landing pad of the capacitor to reduce parasitic capacitance to GND.
  • Back-drill connector vias and signal vias to minimize stub length.
  • Use reference plane vias to ensure a low inductance path for the return current.
