Introduction to HDI Tools
Register HDI Stackup Planner Tool by Sierra Circuits

HDI Stackup Planner

Getting an accurate and detailed HDI PCB stack-up at the beginning stages of a layout reduces unnecessary iterations and helps optimize the costs. It not only helps with a better yield but increases the manufacturability and electrical performance for a given design. Our Stackup Planner tool encodes the best practices for HDI stackup design so that by answering a few simple questions about your design, we show you precise options for cost-optimized Stackup structures. The tool also integrates an Impedance Calculator to help you get the desired impedance and trace/space values on any signal layer. Learn more about our HDI Stackup Planner.

HDI Material Selector Tool by Sierra Circuits

HDI Material Selector

This helps System Engineers and PCB Layout Designers search for materials that fit their application criteria. Example, IPC revisions, Slash numbers, Tg, Dk, Lead-free compatibility etc.This easy-to-use tool shows the relevant materials and also allows you to compare them.

Sierra Circuits, Inc.: HDI Stackup Planner
What is Sierra Circuits' HDI Stackup Planner Tool?

Get a cost effective, manufacturing-ready PCB stack-up (with impedance requirements) in minutes using our Free HDI Stackup Planner tool.

Sierra Circuits announces a unique online tool for Electrical Engineers and PCB Layout Designers that gives confidence to build HDI Technology into their board designs. Design HDI Layouts right the first time by getting a complete HDI PCB Stackup in minutes including your impedance requirements.

Highlights

  • Get a complete stackup before starting the PCB Layout
  • Provides manufacturing-ready PCB Stackup for specific BGA.
  • Embeds manufacturing-proven impedances in the PCB Stackup features.
  • Reduce the design spins by starting with the right Stackup the first time.

SIMPLE inputs, COMPREHENSIVE outputs
Provide the tool with information like fastest signal rise time of the devices used, maximum BGA pin count and minimum BGA pitch, and the tool will return complete HDI Stackup options using linear programming techniques.

Compare PCB Stackup Options Instantly
Each HDI PCB Stackup option comes with complete information about dielectrics, copper weights, trace width and space and key manufacturing steps required. The Stackup Planner also provides a cost index based on complexity so the Electrical Engineer and PCB Designer can make informed decisions before layout begins.

Manufacturing-ready HDI Stackups in minutes
Have confidence that you are designing to an HDI Stackup that is manufacturing-ready. The tool has been built from an authority in HDI Manufacturing Technology and each HDI Stackup has been tested for impedance value and high yield. Our impedance trace and space values are confirmed by our manufacturing process. Other impedance software cannot provide verified information.

Reduce the design spins
Instead of ending up with a less-than-optimal HDI design layout, the tool assists the HDI PCB Designer to start in the right direction with a proven stackup, pad sizes, and trace width and space, and the microvia structures.

Pricing and Availability
The online tool will be complimentary for a limited time. Please visit www.protoexpress.com/hdi
Along with this free tool Electrical Engineers and Layout designers will receive the best cost and turn time for their HDI Prototypes. How can we offer great prices? The HDI Stackup Planning software will minimize your on-holds and it will provide you with an optimum design that makes it easier for us to manufacture. We use standard materials and we have high yield HDI manufacturing processes.
