Understanding Dead Copper on PCBs: Causes, Effects, and Solutions
What is Dead Copper on a PCB? Dead copper refers to areas on a copper layer of a printed circuit board (PCB) that are unable to conduct electrical current. These [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
