Hello everyone!

00:01.200 --> 00:02.960
Welcome to Typekit YouTube channel.

00:03.000 --> 00:09.080
My name is Amirul and in a previous video I talked about what is impedance and how to bridge real and

00:09.080 --> 00:12.800
ideal world to get better results on modeling and simulation.

00:13.160 --> 00:18.680
And we have also discussed why we don't want any impedance discontinuity on our transmission line.

00:18.920 --> 00:24.680
Now further on this today we will talk about what is single ended impedance and how to estimate impedance

00:24.680 --> 00:29.200
profile for one or more than one tracks using cadence cross section editor.

00:29.400 --> 00:30.640
So let's get started.

00:31.320 --> 00:33.520
We will start with very first question.

00:33.520 --> 00:35.320
What is single ended impedance?

00:35.760 --> 00:41.760
Single ended impedance is same as instantaneous and characteristic impedance of a single ended signal,

00:42.800 --> 00:46.840
and single ended signals are signals which are not coupled with any adjacent signal.

00:49.160 --> 00:54.200
Now in the next topic, let's talk about types of single ended signals and their impedances.

00:54.560 --> 01:00.600
First one is microstrip single ended signal, which has signal on the top layer and return plane on

01:00.600 --> 01:06.680
the bottom layer to estimate the characteristic impedance of this type of signal, you can use this

01:06.680 --> 01:09.760
equation or you can use cross section editor to estimate it.

01:09.840 --> 01:12.560
I'll show you later in this video.

01:12.600 --> 01:16.120
Second one is Stripline single ended signals on a strip line.

01:16.120 --> 01:20.920
We have signals sandwiched between two return plane and to estimate the characteristic impedance, you

01:20.920 --> 01:24.560
can use this equation or you can simply use cross section editor.

01:25.480 --> 01:29.040
Apart from these two, there are two more types of single ended signals.

01:29.720 --> 01:33.720
One is embedded microstrip and another one is asymmetric stripline.

01:33.720 --> 01:35.280
For that you can refer this image.

01:35.280 --> 01:39.720
And here they have given their formulas for calculating characteristic impedance.

01:40.960 --> 01:46.360
Let's move to demonstration part of single ended impedance using cadence PCB editor and cross section

01:46.360 --> 01:49.320
editor for that open PCB editor 17.4.

01:50.200 --> 01:53.400
And this is the board file on which we are going to route a couple of tracks.

01:53.680 --> 01:59.800
So as you can see all these unrouted tracks are 50 ohm impedance track here and here.

01:59.920 --> 02:02.160
So we have four tracks that we need to route.

02:02.480 --> 02:08.920
Let's start with width calculation for these 50 ohm tracks for that open cross section editor.

02:12.040 --> 02:13.680
And click over Primary View.

02:15.160 --> 02:23.440
Now if you go to the left side here you will find an tab or column which is signal integrity.

02:23.680 --> 02:24.760
Just click over here.

02:25.200 --> 02:25.800
All right.

02:27.040 --> 02:32.880
And here you will find we have added a impedance value.

02:33.080 --> 02:36.160
Based on that we are getting width for example.

02:36.240 --> 02:40.440
So as you can see here as of now we have added 50 ohm impedance.

02:40.560 --> 02:43.440
If I change it to 100 ohm the width will vary.

02:43.640 --> 02:51.280
So using this calculator we can able to calculate what should be the width of track in a mill for a

02:51.280 --> 02:52.960
particular target impedance.

02:53.200 --> 02:55.760
So in our case we are going to route a 50 ohm track.

02:55.760 --> 03:02.600
So that's why I have noted down these three values for all the 50 ohm impedances on different layers.

03:03.760 --> 03:08.040
Now as you can see for the top layer the value is manufacturable.

03:08.120 --> 03:15.120
The width is manufacturable, but for layer two and bottom layer it is little bit at the high end side,

03:15.120 --> 03:17.800
which is 110 and 124mm.

03:18.160 --> 03:18.760
All right.

03:19.000 --> 03:23.240
So that means this width is too high for routing a track.

03:23.480 --> 03:27.720
So that is how we got to know on which layer we are going to route for a particular stackup.

03:27.920 --> 03:31.120
So we are going to route our 50 ohm track on top layer.

03:31.760 --> 03:34.440
Now we'll click over apply and okay.

03:35.640 --> 03:41.280
Now in the next step we'll going to define constraint set for these four nets.

03:41.560 --> 03:42.040
All right.

03:42.080 --> 03:44.040
To do that open constraint manager.

03:45.840 --> 03:49.520
And here you have to go to physical and all layers.

03:50.480 --> 03:52.720
And under this we have to define the constraint.

03:52.760 --> 03:55.280
To do that you have to right click over DSN.

03:56.280 --> 03:59.080
Go to create and create physical Cset.

04:00.160 --> 04:02.120
You can name it 50 ohm.

04:03.680 --> 04:04.480
And okay.

04:04.960 --> 04:10.920
So after creating constraint set of 50 ohm Under that, we'll get all the layer information that we

04:10.960 --> 04:13.000
have defined during layer Stackup.

04:13.280 --> 04:19.840
But in our case, we have to put all the information for top layer L1 and bottom layer for linewidth

04:19.840 --> 04:23.320
that we have calculated during the impedance calculation.

04:23.400 --> 04:25.040
So I'm just going to put that quickly.

04:29.000 --> 04:35.520
So once you have added all the details for top layer L1 and bottom layer we'll just close it and click

04:35.520 --> 04:37.760
over knit all layers.

04:37.960 --> 04:45.800
Now here we have to find all the four nets that we we are going to route and change its constraint set

04:45.840 --> 04:47.720
from default to 50 ohm.

04:48.600 --> 04:49.760
So there are four nets.

04:49.840 --> 04:53.520
One is P4 and p5.

04:54.480 --> 04:55.520
So these are the two.

04:55.960 --> 04:58.720
And here if you select you will get 50 ohm option.

04:58.720 --> 04:59.920
You have to just select it.

05:00.280 --> 05:06.720
So once you select 50 ohm you will get all the three layer track widths are already defined here.

05:06.720 --> 05:09.760
And same will do for P5.

05:09.760 --> 05:09.800
Five.

05:10.840 --> 05:13.040
Another two nets are net.

05:13.920 --> 05:14.800
R 34.

05:14.920 --> 05:15.760
Underscore two.

05:17.120 --> 05:19.080
So it should be somewhere here.

05:19.400 --> 05:23.720
This is the one and one is R 36.

05:23.760 --> 05:24.720
Underscore two.

05:25.840 --> 05:26.440
All right.

05:26.440 --> 05:32.360
So here we have assigned the correct constraint set to all these nets.

05:32.680 --> 05:33.920
Now let's close it.

05:33.920 --> 05:36.920
And we are okay to route to route it.

05:36.920 --> 05:40.480
First you have to just zoom in a little bit.

05:40.520 --> 05:46.360
Just click over all on select the pad and press F3 on your keyboard.

05:46.480 --> 05:52.200
So it will automatically pick the correct width that we have defined on Constraint Manager.

06:01.880 --> 06:05.720
So this is how we can route a 50 ohm controlled impedance tracks.

06:06.640 --> 06:08.600
I'll put that project link in the description.

06:08.600 --> 06:12.720
You can download it from there and practice whatever we have learned in this video.
