Carrier Board PCB Layout Guidelines
6.4. Trace-Length Extensions Considerations
High speed differential signals need controlled impedance and according to the maximum loss
budget a controlled maximum trace length. In some systems the maximum trace length need to
be exceeded on the Carrier Board according to mechanical or system engineering reasons.
Trace-length extensions can be done with special signal conditioning chips from vendors like
Texas Instruments or Pericom, which are available for USB 3.0, SATA and PCIe.
