Introduction to Intel's PCB Tabbed Routing Technology and Solutions
1. What is Tabbed Routing Tabbed Routing is an innovative PCB routing method invented by Intel, targeting the limited PCB routing area, which cannot meet the normal transmission line width and spacing requirements between lines, thus generating impedance mismatch and signal crosstalk. Tabbed Routing can be applied to any bus in theory, but based on the wiring characteristics of various buses, DDR bus is the main application scenario at present. Tabbed Routing can be applied to any bus in theory, but based on the wiring characteristics of various buses, DDR is the main application scenario. 2. Why use Tabbed Routing? To answer this question, you need to understand the cabling characteristics of the DDR bus and a few key concepts: Pin Field, Breakout, Open Field, etc. Intel PDG uses these terms to describe different cabling areas, of course, there are terms to describe other areas, but this article only discusses Tabbed Routing-related applications, which involve the following three part...
