Introduction to High Density Interconnects and the Evolution of Electronics Introduction to High Density Interconnects and the Evolution of Electronics The Evolution of Electronics Electronics is a relatively new industry, since it has been only 65 years since the transistor was invented. The radio tube was developed nearly 100 years ago but blossomed in WWII, with communications, radar, ammunition fusing (especially the radar-altimeter electronic fusing for the first atom bomb) and has evolved into the world largest industry. All electronic components must be interconnected and assembled to Read Article

HDI PCB Designs and the CAD Tools Behind Them HDI PCB Designs and the CAD Tools Behind Them Although it is said that the only guarantees in life are death and taxes, I would submit that the third guarantee in life is that electronic devices will continue to get smaller and smaller. I’m pretty sure that no one wants their cell phone to grow back to the size of a brick again, so to continue this path of ever decreasing sized electronics means that circuit boards need to shrink in size as well. The best way to do this is to use high Read Article
Select the Right Microvia Aspect Ratio in Your HDI PCB Select the Right Microvia Aspect Ratio in Your HDI PCB If you’re not familiar with PCB design or electronics in general, you probably wonder how newer electronics can pack so much functionality into progressively smaller devices. It takes more than just Moore’s Law, it takes creative PCB design methods to pack all that functionality into a single device. This gave birth to HDI design for densely packed circuit boards and small electronics, like smartphones and small form factor embedded systems. Vias Read Article

How to Optimize HDI Design in Electronics How to Optimize HDI Design in Electronics Neutron stars seem like the stuff of science fiction. Imagine stars as large as the sun exploding in a blinding supernova. Better yet, consider how the spectacular explosion peels the outer layers of the star away and leaves a small, continually collapsing dense core. Gravity pushes the dense matter together to the point of protons and electrons combining into neutrons. As the star’s gravity becomes 200 billion times stronger than the Earth’s Read Article
Build High Density Interconnect PCBs with Skip Vias Build High Density Interconnect PCBs with Skip Vias My friends and I took a road trip over the weekend. When three people take a three-hour car ride in a small sports car, you come up with some creative ways to pack all your stuff (and yourselves) in such a small space. The demand for faster boards with higher component density constraints has forced PCB designers to use a number of creative routing techniques in multilayer boards. Skip vias, dog bone traces, pad-in-trace, microvias, and back Read Article

Microvias in printed circuit design for HDI PCBs Everything You Need to Know About Microvias in Printed Circuit Design Have you ever wondered how designers pack so much functionality into such a small space? You can thank HDI design techniques and microvias in printed circuit design. These small structures let traces reach inner layers of a PCB with high interconnect density and high layer count. These structures have been around for years, but they are becoming more common in a variety of systems that require multiple functions on a single circuit board. If you Read Article
How Ultrafast UV Lasers are Improving HDI PCB Design Layouts How Ultrafast UV Lasers are Improving HDI PCB Design Layouts Don’t let your manufacturers use Kylo Ren’s lightsaber - too unstable and too many defects. Do you remember the first time you saw Star Wars? I was 12 and it changed my world forever. I’d seen my future. Instead of a car, I would fly a spaceship. Instead of being an accountant like my father, I would be a lightsaber-wielding Jedi. Sadly, I turned out to be neither a Jedi or an accountant, but a humble PCB. Lasers still have a place in my life Read Article
How to Design Efficient High-Density Interconnect PCBs using Buried and Blind Vias How to Design High-Density PCBs While Managing Buried and Blind Vias The modern is always being pushed to go smaller and cheaper. Blind and buried vias can help you save space and money on your high density PCB layout (HDI). Blind and buried vias help reduce outer layer usage, leaving more room for SMTs and BGA breakout channels. Read on to find out more! Moore’s Law predicts that the number of transistors in integrated circuits (ICs) will double approximately every two years. This law has held true since 1965 Read Article
