Impedance vs. Resistance: Which Is Most Important for PCB Layout? Article origin by Cadence Author CADENCE PCB SOLUTIONS “Key Takeaways Learn the difference between impedance vs. resistance. Learn how impedance arises in a PCB and what operating characteristics it affects. Effectively using impedance and resistance for your board layout. Which one is first? All electronic components exhibit resistance and reactance, which together comprise impedance. As much as we would like to think the conductive traces on a PCB are perfect conductors with zero resistance and reactance, this is [...]
