The world of electronics is about to explode or, should I say “implode,” the definition of which is “to collapse inward, violently.” This implosion will be driven by a serious size reduction or, huge improvements in the functionality of...
Flex PCB design requires a slightly different approach than rigid PCBs. While flex PCBs can provide major savings in manufacturing cost as well as reduced space consumption and lower weight compared with rigid, their design must be optimized for their materials and...
At some level of circuit complexity, turning to an HDI architecture with blind and buried vias will result in better yield and lower cost than would a through-hole design. In this presentation, we discuss several design examples and illustrate the relative costs and...
High-density interconnect represents the cutting edge of the printed circuit board industry today, due to demand for more compact PCBs and stronger signal integrity discipline.But do you master HDI PCB design like you should? Previous entries in the Becoming a PCB...
HDI PCB materials: Choosing the right dielectric material for a PCB is important no matter what application you’re working on, but the stakes are higher with High-Density Interconnect (HDI) technologies. They’re small, they’re light, they’re powerful; yet they have...
