Observing these two rules will dictate the layer stack-up. One stack-up I frequently see is this six-layer design (Figure 1). This probably worked well enough in the 1990s through early 2000s, but ...

Clearly there are a number of circuit and PCB design techniques that designers and engineers need to master in order to control high-frequency, radiated EMI. It's fairly well understood that circuit ...

PCB Signal integrity & Stackup design. Ever more complex PCB designs require layer stackups to be considered even before you layout the design. As a designer there are now vast choices of base ...

Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance or reliability. Mastering rigid-flex PCB design can be challenging due to its unique ...

Simulation vs measurements The first part of the job is to lock down your PCB process, via a specific stack-up. Every PCB house ... making a first stab at a footprint design supported by lots ...

“Now, instead of just applying ‘best practices’ and hoping that the PCB you design will sync up with the characteristics of the dielectric material you have selected, with Gauss ...
