Optimizing BNC PCB Footprints for Digital Video Equipment
September 1, 2010 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Today's digital video equpment operates at gigabit rates, necessitating the use of large coaxial BNC connectors. Non-optimized BNC footrpints can cause impedance mismatches, reflections and signal loss. In this paper, Tsun-kit Chin of National Semiconductor discusses some common issues with BNC connector footprints, such as problems with the connector-to-board transition, and offers techniques for transparent footprint designs.
