Guidelinesand Stack-up Guidelines Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are becoming increasingly complex to accommodate higher density components and more sophisticated functionality. A growing trend is the use of boards with a large number of layers – 8, 10, 12 or more. In particular, many advanced designs are moving to 10 layer PCBs. While providing more real estate...

What is IC Substrate? The base material of IC packages is the integrated circuit substrate (or IC package substrate). They shield the bare IC while supporting interconnection between the IC and the PCB’s trace network. As a result, the substrate has a significant impact on circuit performance. They are composed of several layers with a supporting...

The special processes of PCB include but are not limited to the following categories: 1.Ultra-thin board and ultra-thick board: Ultra-thin board refers to a PCB with a thickness smaller than the standard thickness, while ultra-thick board refers to a PCB with a thickness greater than the standard thickness. These processes are often used in specific electronic products,...

Special processing technologies are non-conventional processes used in the production of printed circuit boards to meet specific needs. These technologies usually involve high-precision, high-complexity processing requirements and are capable of processing circuit boards with special functions or properties, such as high-frequency PCBs, flexible PCBs, and high-density interconnect (HDI) boards. Major Special Processing Technologies 1.Microvia Processing Technology Microvia processing...

Introduction to Flexible Printed Circuit Boards (Flexible PCBs) Flexible printed circuit boards (flexible PCBs or flex circuits) are made from flexible insulating materials such as polyimide film. Unlike traditional rigid PCBs, flexible PCBs can bend and twist while maintaining electrical connectivity, making them ideal for space-constrained and dynamic applications. Key Advantages of Flexible PCBs: Bendability and...

Flexible PCBs (printed circuit boards) provide the ability to bend and conform to various shapes, making them an essential technology for space-constrained and dynamic applications. A 2-layer flex PCB contains a flexible dielectric layer sandwiched between two conductive copper layers. Designing these PCBs requires unique considerations, including material selection, layout techniques, manufacturability, and reliability. This guide outlines a step-by-step...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a cornerstone of modern electronics, found in devices like smartphones, cameras, and electric vehicles. Unlike traditional rigid PCBs made from FR4 (flame retardant material), flexible PCBs utilize polymer substrates such as polyimide, resulting in their signature amber or orange appearance. These boards offer enhanced versatility, lighter weight, and better adaptability...

The rise of high-tech electronic devices, from smartphones to IoT-enabled gadgets, has fueled the demand for Radio Frequency (RF) PCBs, which facilitate wireless communication by transmitting and receiving RF signals. While RF PCB design shares some similarities with traditional PCB design, it introduces unique complexities such as signal integrity, impedance matching, and high-frequency performance. This article...

The annular ring is a critical aspect of printed circuit board (PCB) design and manufacturing. It plays a vital role in ensuring the electrical conductivity and mechanical reliability of vias, which connect different PCB layers. Understanding what constitutes a good or bad annular ring and adhering to IPC standards is essential for achieving optimal PCB performance. What is an Annular...

What is a Flexible LED PCB? Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the backbone of electronic devices, connecting components seamlessly for reliable functionality. Among these, Flexible LED PCBs have gained prominence due to their adaptability, reduced size, and cost-effectiveness compared to rigid PCBs.
