While layouting my W5500 board I came accros the W5500-EVB-Pico.
I was really suprised about the Layout especially the RXN/RXP and TXN/TXP pairs…
-
TX pair is routed from back to top over vias, I thought that should be avoided at almost any cost
Vias are not so bad after all?! -
the pairs look so tiny, how can they be have a Zdiff of 100 Ohms ? When I calculate the dimensions of a pair with 100 Ohms on a 0.8 2-Layer board my track width is almost a 1 mm
