M-LVDS differential signals through multiplexers
I'm experimenting with M-LVDS via USB 3.1 cables, passing the differential signals through the SuperSpeed lanes. I'm using the DS91M040 for driving M-LVDS. So far no issues, however, I need now to ...

Is the voltage on the negative of a differential pair actually below the ground voltage used to generate the signals?
Apologies if it’s obvious but I always hear that differential pairs have a negative and positive waveform (one on each line) that’s opposite. Now I get that you could choose whatever value or point “...

USB to FTDI connection
I try to connect USB 2.0 to a FTDI FT2232HL. This is my first high speed layout.
I am planning to use 2-layer board 1.6 mm. I know that I have to keep 50 Ω Z0 and 90 Ω Zdiff. However with the 2-layer ...

USB (low speed) on stripboard: can it work?
I recently designed a PCB, with a connector for an extension module for "future uses" (with various signals: GPIOs, I2C, SPI, USB2.0, USB3.1, PCIe Gen4).
The connectors are fine pitched (and ...

Weird pinout of USB ESD protection
The USB ESD protection component USBLC6-2SC6 seems to be very popular (?). However, its pinout seems not ideal:
The USB differential pair should be routed close to each other, but the pinout of ...

Does USB3.0 support reverse polarity in SSTX and SSRX?
Is it possible to Sawp the +/- pins of SSRX and SSTX to make the routing easier and avoid using vias? Does USB3.0 support this reverse polarity?

Correct Dielectric Height on Differential Impedance Calculation?
I'm designing a custom PCB around the Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU. Their hardware design guideline said the traces between the USB and the termination resistors should have a differential impedance of 90 ...

Do I need to worry about single-end impedance in a differential pair?
The title says the question.... I don't quite understand the need for a single-end impedance if I'm routing a differential pair. What I mean is, if I need to route a differential pair on a circuit ...

What value series resistor should I use for USB data lines when two ICs require different impedance values?
I'm using a USB hub (TUSB2036VFR) that communicates with an ATMEGA8U2 and an FTDI chip. The incoming USB signal comes through an isolated USB communications chip ADUM3160BRWZ. The TUSB2036VFR requires ...
