Considerations for Vias on PCBs

Considerations for Vias on PCBs

Vias are one of the essential components of multilayer PCB boards, with drilling costs typically accounting for 30% to 40% of the PCB manufacturing costs. Simply put, every hole on a PCB can be referred to as a via. Functionally, vias can be divided into two categories: One is used for electrical connections between layers. … Read more

The Layout of Crystal Oscillators on PCBs: A Technical Challenge, Avoiding PCB Edges is Crucial

1. Problem Description A certain dashcam requires an external adapter for testing. During power-on testing, it was found to exceed standards, specifically at frequencies of 84MHz, 144MHz, and 168MHz. The cause of the excessive radiation needs to be analyzed, and corresponding countermeasures should be provided. The radiation test data is as follows:2. Analysis of Radiation … Read more
