Due to the limited space, the preceding chapters only briefly introduce the peripheral design of the
A6G2C core board. For detailed application, see the A6G2C Industrial Control Core Board Reference Circuit
Diagram.
4.12 PCB Design Precautions
The integrated industrial communication and multimedia functions of the A6G2C series core boards involve
many high-frequency and high-speed signals. While ensuring the functional design of the schematic diagram, a
good PCB design will greatly improve the stability and reliability of peripheral functions.
For high-frequency and high-speed signals, the characteristic impedance is a key parameter on the PCB. The
A6G2C series core board is recommended to use no less than four layers for the bottom PCB stack-up, which
usually consists of two signal layers, top and bottom, one power layer, one ground layer, and other insulating
materials. Traces and layers constitute impedance control, and the impedance value is determined by their
physical structure and the electrical properties of the insulating material: the width and thickness of the signal
traces, the height of the core or pre-fill material on both sides of the trace, the configuration of the trace and the
board, the insulation constant of the core and pre-fill material, etc.
Table 4.2 describes the common signal cable impedance control of the A6G2C core board.
