How to reduce PCB impedance?

Here are some ways to reduce PCB impedance:

  1. Increase line width: Appropriately increasing the width of the wire can effectively reduce impedance.
  2. Optimize line spacing: Reasonably adjust the distance between lines.
  3. Select a PCB material with an appropriate dielectric constant: Choose a PCB material with a lower dielectric constant according to needs.
  4. Control copper foil thickness: Ensure that the copper foil thickness is within an appropriate range.
  5. Reduce the length of the transmission line: Try to shorten the length of the transmission line as much as possible in the wiring design.
  6. Improve the etching process: Make the line width after etching closer to the design value.
  7. Optimize via design: Reasonably design the size and position of vias to reduce their impact on impedance.
  8. Ensure the integrity of the reference plane: Avoid discontinuities or damages in the reference plane.
  9. Select the appropriate solder mask: Consider its impact on impedance and choose the appropriate type.
