3.14 Additional Guidelines for Testing Panel Coupons Test interconnects may be contained within one or more panel coupons. It is recommended that there be at least one coupon per PB on the panel as long as it does not ad…

interconnects, but a practical issue of operator ability to use
hand-held probes may be considered. Test reports must
report any deviation from the nominal contact land and PTH
geometry.
3.9 Contact Land Pitch Whenever possible, the center-
to-center distance between the signal and reference lands
of the test interconnect should be consistent to simplify
probing requirements and ensure measurement repeatability
and reproducibility. Nominal center-to-center pitch shall be
1.91 mm [0.075 in]. The use of different contact and probe
pitches must be specified and documented.
3.10 Single-Signal Conductor Transmission Line The
single-signal conductor transmission line is also known as the
single-ended, unbalanced, and asymmetrical structure. The
probing area for these lines should consist of a contact land
(see Figure 3-2) for each signal line. The contact land should
provide connection to the reference, or ground, connection for
the test structure. This method requires the use of one con-
tact pitch to ensure measurement consistency between the
test structures of the specimen.
3.11 Orientation The contact land orientation (placement
and angle of the contact land of the signal line relative to the
contact land of the reference plane) must be the same for all
test interconnects of the specimen in order to ensure mea-
surement consistency between test interconnects.
3.12 Test Interconnect Routing
a. The test interconnects shall only be routed over and under
contiguous ground and voltage planes following controlled
line impedance guidelines (see IPC-2141). The test inter-
connects must not extend into PTH clearance areas.
b. The test interconnects shall be kept at least six times the
width of the signal conductor or 2.5 mm [0.0984 in],
whichever is greater, from any PTHs and any other inter-
connect on the same plane. All conductive material (such
as copper nomenclature, copper thieving, etc.) shall be
kept at least 2.5 mm [0.0984 in] from each test intercon-
nect.
c. Test interconnects shall be straight or contain gradual and
rounded bends.
3.13 Nomenclature Labeling of all test interconnect con-
tact lands on at least one surface layer is required for opera-
tor identification during manual probing operations. The label
shall minimally contain information about which signal layer
the test interconnect is modeling (for example, L1-3in, L1-6in,
etc.). Nomenclature should be etched in copper and be
spaced a minimum of at least six times the width of the signal
conductor (of the test interconnect) or 2.5 mm [0.0984 in],
whichever is greater, from the test interconnect area. When-
ever practical, the terminations at both ends of test intercon-
nect shall be marked.

3.14 Additional Guidelines for Testing Panel Coupons
Test interconnects may be contained within one or more
panel coupons. It is recommended that there be at least one
coupon per PB on the panel as long as it does not adversely
affect panel utilization. With this configuration, the following
additional design guidelines apply. More than one coupon
may be necessary on a PB to ensure uniformity. Also, more
test interconnects may be required than can fit inside one test
coupon. In that case, more than one test coupon is neces-
sary.
3.14.1 Reference and Ground Planes All reference
planes existing in the coupon are to be connected together
within the coupon area and be electrically independent of con-
ductor planes in the functional circuit area.
3.14.2 Surface Condition The panel test coupons shall
have the same surface plating and use the same solder mask
requirements as the functional PB.
3.14.3 Thieving Differences in circuit density between the
inside of a panel coupon and the functional area may produce
surface plating and etching differences. In order to compen-
sate for these differences, thieving (the use of nonterminated
copper structures, such as planes, pads, and/or traces adja-
cent to test lines) may be used. All thieving structures shall be
kept at least six times the width of the signal conductor (of the
test interconnect) or 2.5 mm [0.0984 in], whichever is greater,
from each test interconnect.
4 Apparatus and Instrumentation The TDR measure-
ment system contains a step generator, a high-speed sam-
pling oscilloscope, and all the necessary accessories for con-
necting the TDR unit to the test structures under test. IPC-
2141 provides a discussion of the TDR system architecture,
system considerations, and the TDR measurement processes
used herein.
4.1 Measurement System Requirements
4.1.1 Voltage Measurement Accuracy
The voltage mea-
surement accuracy and linearity of the TDR sampling oscillo-
scope shall be sufficient to provide the required accuracy in
the value of propagation delay. Nominally, the voltage mea-
surement accuracy should be better than ± 1%.
4.1.2 Temporal/Spatial Resolution The resolution limit of
a given TDR unit is defined as that particular time or distance
wherein two discontinuities or changes on the transmission
line being measured, that would normally be individually dis-
cernable, begin to merge together because of limited TDR
system bandwidth, timing jitter, or a reduced signal-to-noise
ratio. The resolution limit is specified in either time or distance,
and is always related to the one-way propagation time
between the two discontinuities t
P
(see Figure 4-1), and not
the round trip propagation time 2 t
P
.
Per this definition, the temporal resolution limit is:
a. one half of the system risetime, that is 0.5 t
sys
, where t
sys
is the 10 to 90% risetime or 90% to 10% falltime depend-
ing on the propagating edge of the TDR signal;
and the spatial resolution limit is:
b. 0.5 t
sys
xv
p
, where v
p
is the signal propagation velocity in
the transmission line being measured.
For a given length of transmission line to be measured, the
resulting spatial resolution of the TDR measurement set-up
should not exceed one fourth (0.25) of the available length of
the transmission line L
TL
. In other words, L
TL
should be at
least four times the spatial resolution of the measurement sys-
tem.
Table 4-I relates TDR system risetime values to minimum
L
TL
for typical surface microstrip lines in air on FR4 PB mate-
rial (v
p
≈ 2x10
8
m/s).

.
For example, if the test structure was a 32.0 mm [1.26 in] long
transmission line, then a TDR system with t
sys
≤ 80 ps must
be used. Note that, if the probe launch and test set-up cables
cause excessive ringing in the TDR waveform, or if the vari-
ance in connection delay is significant, then t
sys
must be made
sufficiently small to clearly observe the desired discontinuities
in the TDR waveforms.
4.2 TDR Requirements
4.2.1 Impedance
The TDR source and measurement ports
shall be electrically terminated with precision 50 Ω loads. This
is normally the case with high-quality TDR instrumentation
maintained on the manufacturer’s maintenance and calibra-
tion schedules.
4.2.2 Voltage Step Repeatability For all passive electrical
terminations, the TDR source shall repeat its voltage wave-
form to within 0.5% of the TDR pulse amplitude V
step
.
4.2.3 Timebase Accuracy When oscilloscopes are used
in the TDR measurement system, errors in the reported time
of the samples may arise due to imperfections in the counters
and clock sources used to establish the timebase. These are
systematic errors and may depend on the exact time/div and
delay settings of the scope. When applying this method, the
TDR system’s timebase accuracy must be better than 8 ps +
0.01% of the measured interval.
4.2.4 Timebase Repeatability (Jitter) The RMS value of
random timing uncertainty in measured voltage samples shall
be less than 10% of t
sys
.
4.2.5 Waveform Averaging The TDR equipment shall
perform waveform or sample averaging to reduce jitter and
electrical noise effects in the recorded waveform measure-
ments.
4.2.6 Step Aberrations The TDR source waveform aber-
rations shall be less than 1% of the total step amplitude V
step
.
The ability of the TDR instrument to measure transmission line
discontinuities is related to how well the instrument can mini-
mize aberrations (ringing, overshoot, undershoot, settling,
etc.). These aberrations (see Figure 4-2) can cause significant
errors in determining the instant that the waveform crosses a
user-defined voltage value. Additionally, low frequency step
aberrations may produce a ramp in measurement zone and
this can cause a significant bias in the computed propagation
delay value.
4.3 Other Equipment Requirements
4.3.1 Connectors
Propagation delay test set-ups shall
use precision coaxial connectors whenever possible. TDR
systems typically come with SMA, 3.5 mm [0.138 in],
2.92 mm [0.115 in], or 2.4 mm [0.094 in] connectors at their
measurement ports. These connectors are all 50 Ω connec-
tors. They are precision connectors (they have a low imped-
ance uncertainty due to their mechanical precision) whose
bandwidth must be great enough so that the connectors do
not limit the accuracy of the TDR measurement. The useable
bandwidth of these connectors are approximately 33 GHz,
40 GHz, and 50 GHz, respectively. The reflection and insertion
losses of all connectors used in the test set up shall be less
than 27 dB and 0.3 dB, respectively. Other connectors with
comparable or better performance may be used, but must be
specified and documented. All coaxial connections shall be
tightened with a calibrated torque wrench to specification of
