    Query regarding Routing of DDR3 Data Byte

    I've never done it and I've never seen it done. If you need to, I'd match the lengths as close as possible and use layers that are close to each other so that capacitive delay through the via will be similar. If you are able to account for that delay in the length match, that would be best. I...

    Query regarding Routing of DDR3 Data Byte

    You can also look at swapping the data pins within a byte to ease length matching.

    PCB manufactures capable of 2 mil trace width/clearance

    We use Eltek when we need 2 mil trace and space. You may have to use .25 or .33 oz copper. **broken link removed**

    problem in dxdesigner

    It sounds like your schematic may be corrupt. Just open a SR on supportnet. They're really quick in responding. If the file is corrupt, they find a way to fix it for you. It's happened to me a couple times.

    Non-electrical pins in PADS Layout

    When you're done creating the decal, create a part and make sure the "ECO Registered Part" box is unchecked. Then when you do your netlist compare, you can check only eco registered parts. Your non-ECO registered parts don't have to be in the netlist.

    Problem in BGA routing in PADS

    As mentioned before by AG1, component rules only work in Pads Router and not Pads Layout. Decals rules are the same. You'll get clearance errors as well if you do the DRC checking in Layout. You'll have to route and do the DRC checking in Router.

    [SOLVED] Mistake in soldermask design: Bare grounding

    I don't see a problem either. There should be no effect in terms of high-speed circuitry. Tape, nail polish, mylar could fix it. I would wait for the next rev to fix it as well.

    OK to tent unused BGA pads?

    I don't have experience with this, but, if you're going to try this, I'd recommend removing the unused balls before soldering.

    Measuring the distance between primitives.?

    The quickest way is to move your cursor to the first object, hit q, then enter, then move your cursor to whereever you want to measure to.

    how to Panelization of PCB using pads2005?

    We let our board fabricators do the panelization for our boards. Typically we'll put the information about how we want the boards panelized on a separate layer like layer 20 or right on the drill drawing layer (24). The info we put includes outlines, dimensions, number of pieces, rotation...

    Kelvin connection in voltage regulator

    They are used in current sensing circuits. The idea is that you don't want current flowing through these connections. You want to route them with the thinnest trace width that you are using on the board ie, high impedance trace. I usually route them coupled together as much as I can and and...

    Pin swapiing on DDR data lanes

    The image looks correct to me. The swaps need to be within their respective data lanes, ie, 0-7 can be swapped with each other and 8-15 can be swapped within each other. You should check with the engineer though. Sometimes they can be anal about these things.

    PADS 9.1: length match for DDR2 address through T junction

    Re: PADS 9.1: length match for DDR2 address through T juncti Make a single pin part the same size as the via you are gonna use. Then set up your matched length rules for the corresponding pin pairs.
