German laser specialist LPKF has developed and patented a plastic that can survive reflow soldering and which can act as a single-layer PCB. The company's polyimide material is impregnated with a ...

Figure 1 Impact of PCB re-design and the cost of change. In this post, I will summarise the DFM checks that should be carried-out before committing to a build, how a multi-layer, HDI PCB is ...

While you can embed capacitors, resistors, and microcontrollers inside a stack of PCB, there are limitations. First and foremost, the Rangemaster clone circuit calls for 47 μF capacitors.

The surest way to reverse engineer a circuit is to look at all the components, all the traces between these components, and clone the entire thing. Take a look at a PCB some time, and you’ll … ...

According to Zuken, the CR-8000 will provide engineers with a design environment that offers true system-level engineering and 2D/3D multi-board implementation capabilities. The family of applications ...

A step-down PCB is simply a multilayer PCB whose board thickness is reduced (stepped down) in a few places. The step-down is ...

The top, i.e. the signal layer (0.0014 in. width) is followed by a prepreg layer with a thickness of 0.0091 in. and dielectric constant of 4.2. The top layer is copper material.
