1. Introduction  
The IT3 series is a high-speed mezzanine connector that is proven to work up to 20+ Gbps in a  
telecom environment. Its innovative three-piece design allows customers to easily adjust the stack  
height from 15 mm to 40 mm without changing the footprint or layout in their printed circuit boards.  
In the following sections, we will describe the IT3 geometry and the signal integrity analysis  
results for the 17mm stack height. The signal integrity results include the S parameters, TDR and  
TDT waveforms, and eye diagrams.  
The IT3-17mm connector complies with the IEEE 802.3ap spec for return loss (RL) and  
insertion loss to cross-talk ratio (ICR) to 20+ GHz, and introduces small timing jitter end eye height  
attenuation.  
2. Geometry  
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the geometry and structure of the IT3 connector: two identical  
sockets are connected to each other by an interposer. The total stack height is flexible. For example,  
the following customer-specific heights have been made available: 17, 25, 26, 28, 32, 38 and 40 mm.  
Figure 1 IT3 connector  
Figure 2 Structure of IT3 connector

Page 5  
Figure 3 shows the cross section of interposer. The loosely-coupled design gives 50.24 ohm  
impedance for single-ended signals and 98.87 ohm impedance for differential signals, with process  
variations. The line-to-line coupling is 0.80%, and the pair-to-pair coupling is 0.36%.

3.1.1 S parameters (connector only)  
Figure 4 shows the simulation model for IT3-17 mm (connector only). We used symmetry to  
combine four quarter models created from HFSS into a 60-port single-ended Touchstone file. The  
60-port single-ended model was then converted into a 30-port differential Touchstone file.

3.1.1.1 Fully populated pin assignment  
For fully-populated pin assignment, as shown in Figure 5, Ports 1-2 are grouped into Pair 1, and  
Ports 3-4 are grouped into Pair 2, …, etc. Figure 6 shows the corresponding SDD for pair 8 (or  
Ports 15-16), where the insertion loss (IL), return loss (RL), and crosstalk can be clearly seen, and  
are summarized in Table 1.  
The impedance and trace delay values for each of the 15 differential pairs are shown in Table 2.  
Figure 7 shows the return loss (RL) comparison with the IEEE802.3ap spec for the center pair 8.  
Figure 8 - Figure 11 show the power sum and insertion-to-crosstalk ratio (ICR) profile comparison  
with the IEEE802.3ap spec of NEXT and FEXT, respectively.

The RL profile for the center pair of the IT3-17mm connector meets the IEEE 802.3ap spec up  
to 20+ GHz. The RL profile for the full channel model (connector, vias and PCB traces) is also  
good for 20+ GHz, which will be shown in Section 3.1.4.

The ICR profile for NEXT is not as critical since the TX and RX wafers can be grouped  
separately. The ICR profile for FEXT satisfies the IEEE 802.3ap spec up to 20GHz. For further ICR  
improvement, some pins can be “skipped”. In this document, we will analyze the IT3 with 60% and  
50% pin density assignment. For non-fully-populated pin assignments, the skipped pins are  
terminated each to 50to avoid resonance.

3.1.2 S parameters (vias only)  
The electrical performance of the via depends on the connector’s footprint and PCB stackup.  
The PCB stackup is usually customer-specific. An example is given in Figure 24. The stackup  
consists of 30 layers, totaling 121.78mil in thickness. To have ~100 Ohms differential impedance,  
the signal line width and spacing are set to 3.5 mil and 7.5 mil, respectively, with εr=3.80 and  
tanδ=0.01.  
The via models used in this document are extracted from the demo board. In this document, we  
consider the connector to be mounted from the top layer 1. Thus, a large layer number corresponds  
Signal Integrity Report – IT3 (17mm)  
Page 16  
to a short via stub (Note that in IT3_demo_board_v2.doc, a larger routing layer corresponds to a  
longer via-stub).  
The via transition through the middle layer 16 of the PCB was studied in order to test a  
relatively long via stub of ~60mil. Figure 25 shows the top and side views of the transition which  
includes the PCB layers of the traces connected to each via. Via models through layers 3, layer 12,  
layer 16, layer 19, and layer 28 have been modeled to study the effects of the insertion loss for short  
and long via stubs. Only three routing layers are needed to route all differential pairs on the IT3  
connector (with two pairs exiting on one side and three on the other side of the connector, as  
observed in Figure 25)  
The ports have been numbered such that 1 to 30 correspond to the top side of the PCB, and 31  
to 60 are for the PCB trace connections. Ports 1-2 are grouped into pair 1, and ports 3-4 are grouped  
into pair 2, etc.  
Figure 26 shows the corresponding SDD for pair 8 (or ports 15-16) of via transition with PCB  
routing on layer 16.

Figure 27 and Figure 32 show the SDD response (i.e., insertion loss, return loss, NEXT, and  
FEXT) for pair 8 and pair 4 for 100% and 50% pin density configuration of the cascaded  
vias/connector/vias with PCB routing in the 16th layer for both via transitions. All PCB traces  
coming out from the vias have been matched to 10.507mm. The results at various frequencies of  
interest are summarized in Table 5 and Table 6 for 100% and 50% pin density configuration  
respectively. Figure 28 - Figure 31 and Figure 33 - Figure 36 show the power sum and insertion-to-

The receptacles show higher impedance in the connector-only TDR waveforms because IT3 was  
designed intentionally with slightly higher impedance in the receptacle to offset the via’s (and via  
stub’s) low impedance, as shown in the next section.

3.2.5 System Voltage and Timing Margins  
To demonstrate the IT3’s performance, we ran simulations for the following setup:  
„
„
„
Ideal voltage source with package via.  
Center pair of the IT3 connector with via transition in the 16th PCB routing layer.  
152.4mm (6 inches) PCB trace from driver to IT3 connector, and 152.4mm (6 inches)  
PCB trace from IT3 connector to receiver, including via transition to the receiver.  
The 16th routing layer was chosen to demonstrate that the channel works even with long via  
stubs of ~60mil, which allows for more design flexibility.  
Note: Since the time steps used for the simulations were of 1ps, the timing jitter values have an  
error margin of 1ps. The eye height is defined as the absolute maximum eye opening.  
3.2.5.1 Fully populated pin assignment  
The full channel includes package-via models without crosstalk effects at the transmitter and  
receiver. The following eye diagrams account for these package-via effects, which are not included  
in the channel model defined in the IEEE 802.3ap spec. For the center-pair channel, the models for  
package via and connector via are identical (i.e. same via stub length).  
Table 10, Table 11 and Table 12 show the optimized tap coefficients for the maximum eye  
opening at various data rates for the channel without the connector and connector vias (Base Case  
1), for the channel without the connector only (Base Case 2), and for the full channel.  
Signal Integrity Report – IT3 (17mm)  
Page 37  
Base Case 1 does not include crosstalk effects and Base Case 2 includes crosstalk of the channel  
model without the connector.  
Figure 64 - Figure 66 show the eye diagrams at receiver inputs for various data rates (3.125, 5  
6.25 and 10Gbps) with via transition in the 16th PCB routing layer and with 14 FEXT.  
The full IT3 channel model (raw data with connector), Base Case 1 (data without connector and  
vias) and Base Case 2 (data without connector only) are portrayed in Figure 63.  
Table 13 and Table 14 summarize the corresponding results for the eye diagram and their  
comparison with Base Case 1 and Base Case 2. Column ΔIT3 is the timing jitter or voltage loss  
caused by the IT3 connector (with and without vias).

Page 60  
5.1 Measurement Setup  
To measure the connector’s performance directly we pre-characterized and de-embedded the  
test boards to eliminate the effects of SMAs, traces and vias. The characterization boards were  
designed to have minimal effect on the connector’s performance. The traces have controlled  
impedance of 50Ω and coplanar traces were used to minimize the crosstalk from trace to trace.  
Please refer to the document IT3_Characterization_Board_v09.doc for more details about the  
characterization board for IT3.  
The measurement setup is shown in Figure 98.  
Figure 98 Measurement setup  
IT3-17mm was also tested in a 12” channel with 120mil FR408 board, mid-layer routing, and 8-  
aggressor cross-talk, as shown in Figure 99. Please refer to the document IT3_demo_board_v2.doc  
for more details about the demo board for IT3.
