Doug-
If you know the characteristic impedance of the trace, Z0, and the
"effective" dielectric constant of the dielectric, e_eff, then the "loop"
inductance of the trace is:
L_loop =3D 0.086 Z0 sqrt(e_eff) nH/inch
and while we're at it, the capacitance per length of a microstrip is:
C =3D 85/Z0 x sqrt(e_eff) pF/in
For example, in FR4, the effective dielectric constant of a 50 Ohm
microstrip is about 3.0, given the bulk dielectric constant of 4.0. This
yields the following for the capacitance and inductance per length:
L_loop =3D 7.4 nH/inch
C =3D 2.9 pF/in
( if you use 4.0 for e_eff, its not that big an effect, since its in the
sqrt. If you are worried about the difference between 1.73 and 2.0, don't
use an approximation, use a field solver to get a value you have confiden=
ce
in to better than 3%. I am giving a paper at Design Con 99 on this topic =
and
will be happy to send folks a copy of the paper, when it comes out, if yo=
u
send me a note off line.)
hope this helps.
