Introduction The electrical connections between various components on FR4 copper-clad PCBA are achieved through the copper foil traces and vias on its layers. Due to the varying current levels in different products and modules, designers need to know whether the designed traces and vias can carry the corresponding current to fulfill the product’s functionality and … Read more
When a PCB board has completed its layout and routing, and there are no errors reported in connectivity and spacing, does that mean the PCB is finished? The answer is certainly no. Many beginners, as well as some experienced engineers, often rush through the process due to time constraints, impatience, or overconfidence, neglecting the post-design … Read more
The MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) interface, especially its physical layers D-PHY and C-PHY, is widely used in high-speed data transmission scenarios such as cameras (CSI-2) and displays (DSI-2). The PCB layout and routing of MIPI are crucial for signal integrity, directly affecting the performance and reliability of devices. Below are key guidelines for MIPI … Read more
First, we need to ask, what is signal integrity? Why do we perform signal integrity analysis? How do we conduct signal integrity analysis? What do we achieve after signal integrity analysis?Let’s first discuss,what is signal integrity?Signal Integrity (SI): It refers to the ability of a signal to be transmitted and switched in a circuit with … Read more
Recently, I encountered a customer complaint regarding PCBA blind and buried via issues. I took this opportunity to study the topic and share knowledge with my colleagues and friends. **Core Concept:** In traditional PCB design, vias (referred to as “through holes” or “vias”) that connect different layers of circuits are through holes that extend from … Read more
