Page 60: Transmission Line Considerations
Circuit Board Design Transmission Line Considerations Stubs connecting signal transmission lines to the connector should be as short as feasible. Longer stubs will cause more loading and reflections on a transmission line. If the electrical length of a stub is less than 1/5 of the signal rise time, it can be modeled as a lumped capacitance. -
Page 61: Recommended Routing
Circuit Board Design Recommended Routing Two rows of compliant contacts in the probe make contact with pads laid down on the surface of the PC board. These contacts provide an extremely low probe load (<0.70 pF per channel), and make a good electrical connection with a small amount of compression force on a choice of standard PCB platings. - Page 62 Circuit Board Design Figure 46 17-bit differential routing (E5405A) Soft Touch Pro User’s Guide...
