6.3 Layout Consideration
Route USB signals as differential pairs, with a 90 ohm differential impedance and a 45 ohm, single-
ended impedance. Ideally, a USB pair is routed on a single layer adjacent to a ground plane. USB pairs
should not cross plane splits. Keep layer transitions to a minimum. Reference USB pairs to a power
plane if necessary. The power plane should be well-bypassed. Section 21.3.2 USB Trace Routing
Guidelines summarizes the USB routing rules.
