Embedded Components Design Guide
Sierra Circuits' Embedded Component Design Guide highlights how to select embedded passives and the benefits they offer over traditional SMDs.
Sierra Circuits’ Embedded Components Design Guide provides practical guidelines for designing PCBs with built-in resistors and capacitors. Implementing these techniques helps you achieve smaller form factors, reduced parasitics, and better signal integrity.
This eBook explains when and how to use embedded passives to leverage their advantages.
It begins with what embedded components are, the benefits they offer over traditional SMDs, and the trade-offs between size, cost, and performance. It also throws light on practical selection criteria for embedded resistors and capacitors.
You’ll learn about the different types of embedded resistors and how to select the right materials. The Embedded Components Design Guide provides detailed layout guidelines, controlled impedance techniques, and decoupling strategies to reduce crosstalk and EMI.
This design guide also includes thermal management techniques and fabrication processes, such as additive and subtractive methods. In the final chapter, you will learn a few tips to communicate embedded part requirements to your PCB manufacturer effectively.
