PCB Trace Impedance Calculator
Calculates the characteristic impedance and per-unit-length parameters
of typical printed circuit board trace geometries.
Select a configuration:
Microstrip Trace
Embedded Microstrip Trace
Stripline Trace
Dual Stripline Trace
Geometric Parameter Definitions:W:
trace width
T:
trace thickness
H (/H1)
height of trace or dielectric above return plane
C:
distance between the differential stripline pair
εr:
relative permittivity of the dielectric
Electrical Parameter Definitions:Zo:
characteristic impedance
Zc:
effective characteristic impedance including the capacitance of distributed loads
Tpd:
propagation delay
Lo:
inductance per unit length
Co:
capacitance per unit length
