November 21, 2002 Document No. 001-431 17 Rev . ** 1 EZ-USB FX2™ PCB Design Recommendations Introduction This application n ote presents recommendati ons for design- ing with the Cypress Semiconductor EZ-USB FX2™ compo- nent. T echniques for high-speed desi gn should be applied to circuits using the EZ-USB FX2.
November 21, 2002 Document No. 001-431 17 Rev . ** 2 AN1 196 Figure 2. FX2 Eye Diagram of High-speed Signali ng In the diagram, notice how no signal traces overlap the cen- tral, six-sided, shade d area. Also, no trace overlaps the extremes of permissible volt age as shown in the shaded lin es at the very top and very bottom of the figure.
November 21, 2002 Document No. 001-431 17 Rev . ** 3 AN1 196 Maint ain PCB T race Impedance Designing the PCB traces for particular ch aracteristic imped- ance is very important to signal quality . The USB specification requires controlled impedance a mong all elements in the USB data path.
November 21, 2002 Document No. 001-431 17 Rev . ** 4 AN1 196 This figure shows the die lectric material thickness (“Prepreg”) between layers 1 and 2 and the thickness between layers 3 and 4. The dimensio ns between these layers are a key ele- ment in the design to se t the proper characteristic impedance for the USB data traces.

November 21, 2002 Document No. 001-431 17 Rev . ** 6 AN1 196 EZ-USB FX2 Assembly Recommenda- tions The solder stencil over the expos ed p addle is required to per- mit at least 50% solder application coverage. Figure 8 is a graph from Amkor research showing how solder void mu ch less than 50% has little influe nce on thermal transfer .
