7.5.3.2 USB 3.0 General routing rules
Some general routing guidelines regarding USB 3.0:
• Avoid crossing splits reference plane(s).
• Shorter trace length is preferred.
• Minimize the via usage and layer transition
• Keep large spacing between TX and RX pairs.
• Intra-lane delay mismatch between DP and DM less than 1ps. Same for RXp and RXn.
• Distance between common mode filter (CMF) and ESD protection device should be as short as
possible
• Distance between ESD protection device and USB connector should be as short as possible.
• Distance between AC capacitors (TX only) and CMF should be as short as possible.
• USB 3.0 signals should always be routed over an adjacent ground plane.
Table 7-10 and Table 7-11 present routing specification and recommendations for USB1 in the device.

1. Vias must be used in pairs and spaced equally along a signal path.
2. DS = differential spacing of the traces.
3. Exceptions may be necessary in the SoC package BGA area.
4. GND guard-bands on the same layer may be closer, but should not be allowed to affect the impedance
of the differential pair routing. GND guard-bands to isolate USB3.0 differential pairs from all other
signals are recommended.
