2.6.1.2 Guidelines for USB layout design
The USB_D+ / USB_D- lines require accurate layout design to achieve reliable signaling at the high speed data
rate (up to 480 Mb/s) supported by the USB serial interface.
The characteristic impedance of the USB_D+ / USB_D- lines is specified by the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0
specification [7]. The most important parameter is the differential characteristic impedance applicable for the odd-
mode electromagnetic field, which should be as close as possible to 90 differential. Signal integrity may be
degraded if PCB layout is not optimal, especially when the USB signaling lines are very long.
Use the following general routing guidelines to minimize signal quality problems:
Route USB_D+ / USB_D- lines as a differential pair
Route USB_D+ / USB_D- lines as short as possible
Ensure the differential characteristic impedance (Z
0
) is as close as possible to 90
Ensure the common mode characteristic impedance (Z
CM
) is as close as possible to 30
Consider design rules for USB_D+ / USB_D- similar to RF transmission lines, being them coupled differential
micro-strip or buried stripline: avoid any stubs, abrupt change of layout, and route on clear PCB area
Figure 55 and Figure 56 provide two examples of coplanar waveguide designs with differential characteristic
impedance close to 90 and common mode characteristic impedance close to 30 . The first transmission line
can be implemented in case of 4-layer PCB stack-up herein described, the second transmission line can be
implemented in case of 2-layer PCB stack-up herein described.
