SN65DP159: Layout suggested metal thickness

Part Number: SN65DP159

Regarding Datasheet page#50 12.1 Layout guide,
Could you please let me know your recommended metal thickness each layer both 4-layer case and 6?

4layer case
TMDS Signal
GND Plane
Power Plane
Control signal

6layer case
TMDS Signal
GND Plane
VCC
VDD
GND
Control signal

  • Hi,

    We do not have a recommend metal thickness as the thickness depends on the system requirement.

    For example

    • Sizeable through-hole PCB parts differing with most components as they have through-holes that require different PCB thickness.
    • The thickness of the board is essential when dealing with multilayer boards since impedance matching is crucial. That is as the layers create the dialectic, which facilitates impedance control.

    There are other factors affecting the PCB thickness decision, so it is up to the customer's system design requirement.

    Thanks

    David
