The Role and Considerations of Serpentine Traces in PCB Design
Any trace on a PCB that carries high-frequency signals can cause signal delay. The main purpose of serpentine traces is to compensate for parts of a group of related signals [...]
PCB Design in the 5G World: Challenges and Solutions
PCB Design Requirements for 5G Applications In 5G applications, the key PCB design requirements include high-frequency, high-speed materials, high-density interconnects (HDI), impedance matching, layer stack-up planning, signal integrity for trace [...]
High-Speed USB Design on a Two-Layer PCB
In our previous article, "Experience Formulas in PCB Design" we introduced some practical formulas. Now, let’s dive into a real-world application by focusing on high-speed USB design on a [...]
Understanding Insertion Loss in High-Speed PCB Design
Can Signal Attenuation Occur Even in PCB Traces with Near-Zero Resistance? When designing high-speed PCBs, signal integrity is a key concern. Signal integrity refers to the ability of a [...]
Key PCB Design Rules
3W Rule To reduce crosstalk between traces, the spacing between them should be sufficiently large. When the center-to-center distance between traces is at least three times the trace width, approximately [...]
What is a High Frequency PCB?
High-frequency PCB is a special circuit board that processes signals with higher electromagnetic frequency. Its manufacturing may be made by the ordinary rigid circuit board manufacturing method or after special [...]
Advantage analysis of HDI PCB The difference between traditional PCB and HDI PCB
In the rapid development of the electronic manufacturing industry,the type and design of the circuit boards change rapidly. Among them, HDI (high-density interconnect) printing circuit boards and traditional printing circuit [...]
