PCB routing methods continue to evolve, and flexible routing techniques can reduce wire length and free up space on a PCB. Traditional PCB routing is limited by fixation of coordinates of wires and by ...

While ultra HDI may receive considerable attention for stacked vias, staggered vias are a smart choice in many designs. The structure, offsetting each microvia, permits the dielectric to absorb ...

Charles Pfeil is an Engineering Director in the Systems Design Division at Mentor Graphics. My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two ...

The OMAP3530 CUS package is designed with a new technology called Via Channel™ array. This technology allows for easy routing of the device in two signal and two power layers using standard 20 mil ...

Miniaturisation is no longer a trend — it’s a design necessity. As standard PCB technologies reach their limits, the transition to HDI and microvia designs becomes essential for integrating fine-pitch ...
