Signal and Capacitor Placement

Signal and Capacitor Placement
SR_CLK should be close to the host device, and SR_DS should be close to the e·MMC
device. e·MMC signals can be fanned out through NC pins. No internal connection is
present for NC pins. Micron recommends that e·MMC signals not be fanned out
through RFU pins.
The recommended decoupling capacitors should be placed on the bottom side of the
PCB across the BGA escape vias in order to minimize the connection inductance seen
by the capacitor. The capacitor pad should be connected to the power and ground
plane with a larger via to minimize the inductance in decoupling capacitors and allow
for maximum current flow. The recommended capacitor values are shown in Table 1
(page 4). Wide, short traces between the via and capacitor pads should be used, or
the via placed adjacent to the capacitor pad. Figure 4 (page 4) shows how to connect
capacitor pads to the power and ground plane. Method 1 is not recommended, while
the others are recommended.

PCB Topology and Layout

PCB Topology and Layout
The PCB board must have at least four layers.
CLK, CMD, DQ and DS signals should be treated as transmission lines with controlled
impedance from 45Ω to 55Ω. The skew of propagation time of these signals should be
minimized and the PCB trace length difference kept within ±50 mil. The following figure
shows two commonly used PCB transmission line topologies.
Figure 5: Transmission Line Topologies
PCB Trace
Ground Plane
Dielectric
Microstrip

Stripline

The e·MMC signals' trace length should be as short as possible; it is best kept to less
than 2000 mil.
The transmission line should be designed so that the conductor is as close to the
ground plane as possible. This technique will couple the transmission line tightly to the
ground plane and help decouple it from adjacent signals. It's best to widen spacing between signal lines as much as routing restrictions will allow, trying not to bring traces
closer than three times the trace width.

Arc-shaped traces should be used instead of right-angle bends.

There should be NO breaks or voids in the ground plane under or over the high speed
signals.

The best signaling is obtained when a constant reference plane is maintained. If a reference plane transition cannot be avoided, we recommend using the following techniques.
• If the signal reference plane changes from ground plane to power plane, adding capacitors near the via transition site will help support a good return path.
• If the signal reference plane changes from ground plane to another ground plane,
ground vias should surround all high-speed signals (two ground vias per clock via;
one ground via per high speed signal via).

Stubs should be kept short to avoid reflections. Stub propagation delay should be kept
