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

Understanding the Impact of PCB Design on the Current Carrying Capacity of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Modules

Source: APEC2024-(Wolfspeed)Author: Dereje Woldegiorgis, PhDNote: The images in the report are unrelated to the text. The design of the PCB has acrucial and even decisive impact on the current carrying capacity of silicon carbide power modules. Silicon carbide devices have advantages such as high power density, high switching frequency, and high operating temperature, but if … Read more
