ISOUSB211DPEVM: PCB design parameters

Anwar Ali Vali Mohamed

Part Number: ISOUSB211DPEVM

Hi TI,

Is it possible to get PCB design details like USB2 traces width, clearance, and thickness based on DPEVM? I also notice the DPEVM uses 3-layer PCB which is uncommon.

Thanks,

Anwar

Hi Anwar,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please note that the EVM ISOUSB211DPEVM is a 4-layer PCB where layer 2 mostly consists of GND planes while layer 3 doesn't have any traces or planes and hence is not listed out in the EVM user guide.

Regarding the other details you requested, I will check and share you trace width and thickness. Regarding clearance, could you please confirm if you meant to refer to the spacing between D+ and D- pins? Thanks.

Regards,
Koteshwar Rao

Hi Koteshwar,

Yes please, the spacing between the differential D+ and D- on the PCB.

Thanks,

Anwar

Hi Anward,

Thanks for confirming, please find the request information below.

Trace Width: 20 mil
Trace Thickness: 1 Oz Copper (~1.4 mil)
Trace Spacing: 10 mil

The internal GND planes are used to create a differential impedance of ~90Ω on the USB lines. I hope that these answer your questions, thanks.

Hi Koteshwar,

Thank you.

I tried the given parameters, but it seems the D- and D+ traces are too close to the pins next to D-/D+, like in the picture below (page 7 of DPEVM PDF document).

Thanks,

Anwar

No worries, I used slightly different parameters specific for my PCB.
