2. General Carrier Board Recommendations This section contains general guidelines for the PCB stackup and the layout of traces. General guidelines for routing style, topology, and trace attribute recommendations are also discussed.
2.1. PCB Stackup Example Figure 2 illustrates an example of a PCB with a six-layer stackup. The stackup consists of three signal layers and three reference (power and ground) layers. The three signal layers are referred to as the component layer, inner layer and solder layer. The example below also shows the PCB stackup in a microstrip design.

2.1.1. Microstrip Versus Stripline Designs Carrier board designers can choose between two basic categories of PCB design: microstrip and stripline. Microstrip designs have the outer signal layers exposed. Stripline designs have the outermost signal layers shielded by reference layers.

Figure 3: Six-layer stripline PCB stackup example
The choice of microstrip or stripline design depends on the application for which the carrier board is being designed. If the carrier board is being designed for locations where sensitivity to EMI is an issue, a stripline design is recommended for reducing EMI and noise coupling. For applications where the tolerance for EMI levels is greater, a microstrip design is recommended to reduce costs. Due to the inherent nature of stripline PCB stacks, broad-side coupling is possible.

Notes:
1. It is not recommended to have any signal routings on either power layer or the ground layer. If a signal must be routed on the power layer, then it should be routed as short as possible.
2. Signal routing on the ground layer is not allowed.
3. Lower trace impedance providing better signal quality is preferred over higher trace impedance for clock signals.

2.2. General Layout and Routing Guidelines This section provides general layout rules and routing guidelines for designing carrier boards for VIA QSM-8Q60 module.
2.2.1. Routing Styles and Topology Topology is the physical connectivity of a net or a group of nets. There are two types of topologies for a motherboard layout: point-to-point and multi-drop. An example of these topologies is shown in Figure 4.

Multi-Drop
Point-to-Point

Figure 4: Point-to-point and multi-drop examples
High-speed bus signals are sensitive to transmission line stubs, which can result in ringing on the rising edge caused by the high impedance of the output buffer in the high state. In order to maintain better signal quality, transmission stubs should be kept as short as possible (less than 1.5”). Therefore, daisy chain style routing is strongly recommended for these signals. Figure 5 below shows an example of daisy chain routing.

Figure 5: Daisy-chain example
If daisy chain routing is not allowed in some circumstances, different routings may be considered. An alternative topology is shown in Figure 6. In this case, the branch point is somewhere between both ends. It may be near the source or near the loads. Being close to the load side is best. The separated traces should be equal in length.

2.2.2. General Trace Attribute Recommendations A 5 mils trace width and 10 mils spacing are generally advised for most signal traces on a carrier board layout. To reduce trace inductance the minimum power trace width is recommended to be 30 mils.
As a quick reference, the overall recommended trace width and spacing for different trace types are listed in Table 4, and the recommended trace width and spacing for each signal group is shown in Chapter 4.
Trace Type Trace Width (mil) Spacing (mil) Regular Signal 5 or wider 10 or wider Interface or Bus Reference Voltage Signal 20 or wider 20 or wider Power 30 or wider 20 or wider
Table 4: Recommended trace width and spacing
General rules for minimizing crosstalk in high-speed bus designs are listed below:
• Maximize the distance between traces. Maintain 10 mils minimum spaces between traces wherever possible.
• Maximize the distance (30 mils minimum) between two adjacent routing areas of different signal groups wherever possible.
• Avoid parallelism between traces on adjacent layers.
• Select a board stack-up that minimizes coupling between adjacent traces.
2.2.3. General Clock Routing Considerations Clock routing guidelines are listed below:
• The recommended clock trace width is 5 mils.
• The minimum space between one clock trace and adjacent clock traces is 20 mils. The minimum space from one segment of a clock trace to other segments of the same clock trace is at least two times of the clock width. That is, more space is needed from one clock trace to others or its own trace to avoid signal coupling (see Figure 7).
• Clock traces should be parallel to their reference ground planes. That is, a clock trace should be right beneath or on top of its reference ground plane (see Figure 8).
• Series terminations (damping resistors) are needed for all clock signals (typically 0 to 47 ohm Ω). When two loads are driven by one clock signal, the series termination layout is shown in Figure 9. When multiple loads (more than two) are applied, a clock buffer solution is preferred.
• Isolating clock synthesizer power and ground planes through ferrite beads or narrow channels (typically 20 mils to 50 mils wide) is preferred.
• No clock traces on the internal layer if a six-layer board is used.

4. Layout and Routing Recommendations The information presented in this chapter includes the signal descriptions, reference schematic examples, topology examples, and detailed layout and routing guidelines for each bus interface. The information provided is intended for designing the Qseven compliant carrier boards to support the features of VIA QSM-8Q60 module.
4.1. PCI Express Interface This section will guide the developer to create a robust PCI Express interface design in the Qseven carrier board. However, the carrier board designer should do an appropriate analysis and simulation to verify that the design fulfills PCI Express specification requirements.
The PCI Express is a serial differential low-voltage, point-to-point interface. A PCI Express consists of two differential signal pairs (for transmit data pair and receive data pair), and one pair for reference clock. The bandwidth of a PCI Express link can be increased by adding signal pairs to form multiple lanes between two devices.
The VIA QSM-8Q60 module can support one PCI Express x1 through miniPCIe slot.

4.1.1. MiniPCIe Slot The miniPCIe slot consists of a single PCI Express x1.The miniPCIe slot is a 52-pin connector designed for add-in PCI Express Mini Cards. Applying the miniPCIe slot on the carrier board will provide the ability to insert different removable and upgradeable miniPCIe cards without the additional expenditure to redesign the carrier board.

4.1.2. PCI Express Layout and Routing Recommendations • All the PCI Express signals should be referenced to the ground plane at all times.
• Each trace of differential pairs should route to parallel to each other with the same trace length.
• Each trace of differential pairs should not have more than two via holes.
• Place the AC coupling capacitors as close as possible to the PCI Express slot/device.
• The spacing between differential pairs must be equal at all times (in parallel), even during trace bending and serpentine topology.
• Differential pairs must be routed on the same layer with maximum of one signal layer change allowed. The differential pairs must always move to the same layer with the same reference plane.
• Transmit differential pairs are recommended to be routed on the top layer and receive differential pairs are recommended to be routed on the bottom layer.
• Do not route PCI Express traces under magnetic devices or IC’s, oscillators and clock synthesizers.
• To minimize signal crosstalk, wider spacing is recommended wherever possible between traces.
• It is always best to reduce the line mismatch to add to the timing margin. In other words, a balanced topology can match the trace lengths within the groups to minimize skew.

Figure 24: Gigabit Ethernet layout recommendations (integrated magnetic module)
Notes:
1. If the Gigabit Ethernet implementation is not being use, the pins GBE_MDI2+, GBE_MDI2-, GBE_MDI3+ and GBE_MDI3- should not be connected.
2. It is recommended to use termination circuits for the unused pin at the RJ-45 connector and for wire-side center-taps of the magnetic module. Improper usage (or lack of usage) of the termination circuits for those unused pins at the RJ-45 connector wire-side center taps of the transformer will cause emissions and long cable noise problems related to other IEEE conformance issues.
3. If using an external LAN magnetic module, the magnetic module has to be placed as close as possible to the RJ-45 port. The distance must be

4.2.2. Gigabit Ethernet Layout and Routing Recommendations • Route differential pairs close together and away from other signals.
• Route any other trace parallel to one of the differential trace.
• Keep trace length within each differential pair equal.
• Keep proper impedance between two traces within a differential pair.
• Each trace of differential pairs should not have more than two via holes.
• Each differential pair of signals is required to be paralleled to each other with the same trace length (Tolerance ±50 mils) on the component (top) layer and to be paralleled to a respective ground plane. The length difference between the shortest and longest pairs should be less than 200 mils.
• The accumulated trace length of differential signals pair between the MXM connector and magnetic module should be less than 1”.
• The accumulated trace length of differential signals pair between the external magnetic module and RJ-45 connector should be less than 1″. Isolate ground plane and connect to chassis earth.
• Keep each differential pair on the same plane.
• To prevent any noise from injecting into the differential pairs, be sure to keep digital signals or other signals away from the differential signals.
• The external magnetic module should be placed close to the RJ-45 connector to limit EMI emissions.
Routing, layout, and trace properties for implementing Gigabit Ethernet interface in the carrier board are listed in the following tables.

4.3.1. USB Layout and Routing Recommendations • The layout guidelines for the USB data lines are listed below. And a routing example for two
pairs of USB data buses is shown in Figure 27.
• The differential pair signals should be all referenced to ground.
• Each trace of differential pairs should not have more than two via holes.
• Differential pair route in parallel and in equal length.
• The amount of vias and corners used for the USB 2.0 signal layout should be minimized; this is to prevent the occurrence of reflection and impedance changes.
• Each pair of USB data lines is required to be parallel to each other with the same trace length (see Figure 27), and not parallel with other signals to minimize crosstalk.
• Separate the signal traces into similar groups and route similar signal traces together. In addition, it is recommended to have differential pairs routed together on the motherboard.
• Control trace signals (USB_2_3_OC#, USB_4_5_OC# and USB_ID) impedance should maintain 55Ω ± 10%.
• For the USB traces, do not route them under oscillators, crystals, clock synthesizers, magnetic devices or IC’s which could be using duplicate clocks.

4.6.1. Audio Layout and Routing Recommendations • Route the analog and digital trace signals as far as possible from each other to prevent noise.
• Route the clock trace away from any analog input and voltage reference pins.
• Isolate the codec or put away from any major current path or ground bounce.
• Fill with copper the regions between the analog traces and attached it to the analog ground.
• Fill with copper the regions between the digital traces and attached it to the digital ground.
Note:
For optimizing timing and signal quality issues, the values of the series resistors are design dependent and should be verified.
Routing, layout and trace properties for implementing audio interface in the carrier board are listed in the following tables.
Signal Name Signal Reference Topology Signal Type HDA_RST#/I2S_RST#
