Controlled-Impedance PCB and Via Modeling

Differential TDR peak, target 85 Ω
106 → 92 Ω

01Setup

50 Ω single-ended and 85 Ω differential routes on an 8-layer FR-4 PCB.

02Method

Extracted the routes and evaluated via stubs, antipads, return vias, and TDR response.

03Result

Differential TDR peak reduced from 106 Ω to 92 Ω at a consistent 35 ps rise time.
