PCB Trace Width and Spacing – DFM
Optimizing printed circuit board (PCB) trace widths is a crucial aspect of PCB design that affects the performance, reliability, and manufacturability of the final product. Proper trace width selection ensures that your PCB can handle the required current load without overheating, reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and meets manufacturing tolerances. Let’s learn more about the importance […]
The Use of PCB Ground Planes in PCB Design
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the backbone of electronic devices, providing a platform for interconnecting various components and ensuring the smooth flow of signals. One essential element in PCB design is the ground plane. Ground planes play a critical role in maintaining signal integrity, reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI), and enhancing the overall performance and reliability […]
PCB Design Considerations for High Speed Digital Circuits
Advanced thought is required to build high-speed circuitry. Without a proactive approach, it will be extremely difficult to get the speeds you’re looking for. High-speed PCB design focuses on creating circuit boards that are less vulnerable to signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC problems. While no design is ever completely free of these issues, there […]
