Abstract

As we enter the 5G (5th-Generation) era, the amount of information and data has become increasingly tremendous. Therefore, electronic circuits need to have higher chip density, faster operating speed and better signal quality of transmission. As the carrier of electronic components, the design difficulty of high-speed PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is also increasing. Equal-length wiring is an essential part of PCB design. But now, it can no longer meet the needs of designers. Accordingly, in view of the shortcomings of the traditional equal-length wiring, this article proposes two optimization ways: the "spiral wiring" way and the "double spiral wiring" way. Based on the theoretical analysis of the transmission lines, the two optimization ways take the three aspects of optimizing the layout and wiring space, suppressing crosstalk and reducing reflection as the main points to optimize the design. Eventually, this article performs simulation and verification of schematic diagram and PCB of the optimal design by using HyperLynx simulation software. The simulation results show that these two ways not only improve the flexibility of the transmission line layout, but also improve the signal integrity of the transmission lines. Of course, this also proves the feasibility and reliability of the two optimized designs.
