6.1.1 USB 2.0 Design Guidelines
These requirements apply to the USB 2.0 controller PHY interfaces: USB[2:0]_D_N/P.
Table 6-4. USB 2.0 Interface Signal Routing Requirements
Max frequency (high speed – Bit Rate/UI period/Frequency 480/2.083/240 Mbps/ns/MHz
Max loading (High Speed / Full Speed / Low Speed) 10 / 150 / 600 pF
Reference plane GND
Trace impedance (Diff pair / SE) 90 / 50 Ω ±15%
Via proximity (signal to reference) < 3.8 (24) mm (ps) See Note 1
Max trace length/delay (Microstrip / Stripline) 6 (960) In (ps)
Max intra-pair skew between
and
7.5 ps
Notes:
1. Up to four signal vias can share a single GND return via.
2. Adjustments to the USB drive strength, slew rate, termination value settings should not be necessary, but if any are made,
they MUST be done as an offset to default values instead of overwriting those values.
6.1.2 USB 3.0 Design Guidelines
The requirements following apply to the USB 3.0 port #0 PHY interface: USBSS_TX_N/P,
USBSS_RX_N/P

Trace Spacing – for TX/RX non-interleaving
TX-RX Xtalk is very critical in PCB trace routing. The ideal solution is to route TX and RX on different layers.
If routing on the same layer, strongly recommend not interleaving TX and RX lanes
If it is necessary to have interleaved routing in breakout, all the inter-pair spacing should follow the rule of inter-SNEXT
