Introduction
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview
This design guide provides motherboard implementation recommendations for the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 platform, based on the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 processor. This document includes design guidelines for Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 platforms and the hardware integration aspects that must be considered when designing a platform.
This design guide has been developed to ensure maximum flexibility for board designers while reducing the risk of board-related issues. Design recommendations are based on Intel's simulations and lab experience and are strongly recommended, if not necessary, to meet the timing and signal quality specifications. Design recommendations are based on the reference platforms designed by Intel. They should be used as an example but may not be applicable to particular designs.
Note: The guidelines recommended in this document are based on experience, simulation,
and preliminary validation work done at Intel while developing the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 processor-based platform. This work is ongoing, and these recommendations are subject to change.
Caution: If the guidelines listed in this document are not followed, it is very important that
designers perform thorough signal integrity and timing simulations. Even when following these guidelines, Intel recommends the critical signals to be simulated to ensure proper signal integrity and flight time. Any deviation from the guidelines should be simulated.
Metric units are used in some sections in addition to the standard use of U.S. customary system of units (USCS). If there is a discrepancy between the metric and USCS units, assume the USCS unit is most accurate. The conversion factor used is 1 inch (1000 mils) = 25.4 mm.
1.2 Audience and Purpose
The Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 is a highly integrated, ultra-low-power part designed to enable innovative wearable solutions with long battery life for fitness/health/wellness monitors, smart watches, and so on.
This document is intended to aid platform hardware designers in system implementation and reference design reuse by:

2.1 General Assumptions
This section covers general Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 and Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 Customer Reference Board (CRB) system topology and interface connectivity assumptions. The Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 CRB is used as a baseline reference example for guidelines.

2.1.1 PCB Technology and Stackup
The system uses the PCB technology of a standard interconnect, Type 3, 4-layer board, no blind or buried vias. It is important to note that variations in the stackup of a motherboard, such as changes in the dielectric height, trace widths, and spacing, can impact the impedance, loss, and jitter characteristics of all the interfaces. Such changes may be intentional, or may be the result of variations in the manufacturing process. In either case, they must be properly considered when designing interconnects. This design guide applies the CRB PCB stackup and trace width/spacing that is shown in
Figure 4.
Note: All the routing guidelines in this document are simulated based on the CRB stackup.
2.1.2 PCB Technology Considerations
The typical values, including the design and material tolerances, are centered on a nominal single line impedance specification of 50𝛺 ± 15% for microstrip. Many interfaces specify a different nominal single-ended impedance. For more details on the
Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 November 2016 Platform Design Guide Document Number: 333580-002EN 11
System Assumptions
nominal trace width to meet those impedance targets, refer to the individual interface section.
The following general stackup recommendations should be followed:
Microstrip layers are assumed to be built from 1/2oz. foil, plated up nominally
another 1 oz.; however, the trace thickness range defined allows for significant process variance around this nominal.
Based on the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller D2000 layout layers, 3/4 dual stripline
is assumed to be built from 1 oz. copper.
All high-speed signals should reference solid planes over the length of their routing
and should not cross plane splits. Ground referencing is preferred.
Reference plane stitching vias must be used in conjunction with high-speed signal
layer transitions that include a reference plane change. Refer to each signal group section for more specification.
The parameter values for internal and external traces are the final thickness and
width after the motherboard materials are laminated, conductors plated, and etched. Intel uses these exact values to generate the associated electrical models for simulation.
