US 2025/0168971 A1 · TRACE WIDTH MODULATION

Abstract

Techniques for trace width modulation are disclosed. In an aspect, a method for trace width modulation may include determining that a region along a length of a trace has an impedance that is different from a target impedance for the trace, and altering a width of at least a portion of the trace within the region to cause the impedance of the trace to be substantially equal to the target impedance of the trace.
