Make sure length matching is near the location of mismatch.
Separate each pair by at least 3 times the signal trace width.
Keep the use of bends in differential traces to a
minimum. When bends are used, make sure the number of left and right bends are
as equal as possible and that the angle of the bend is ≥ 135 degrees. This setup
minimizes any length mismatch caused by the bends and therefore minimize the
impact bends have on EMI.
Route all differential pairs on the same of layer.
Keep the number of VIAS to a minimum. TI recommends to keep the VIAS count to 2 or less.
Refer to Figure 8-7, the layout might face signal crossing on OUTDP2 and OUTDP3
due to mismatched order between the output pins of the device and the connector.
One solution is to do a polarity swap on the input of the device when GPU is a
BGA package to help minimize the number of VIAS being used.
Keep traces on layers adjacent to ground plane.
Do NOT route differential pairs over any plane split.
Adding test points can cause impedance discontinuity, and therefore, negatively impact signal performance. If test points are used, place the test points in series and symmetrically. Do not place test points in a manner that causes a stub on the differential pair.
