How to Design and Fabricate a 4-Layer PCB Stackup with Altium Designer How to Design and Fabricate the Best 4 Layer PCB Stackup with Altium Designer Among multi-layer stackups, four-layer stackups are probably the most common type of PCB stackup. Four-layer stackups allow for high-speed routing, integration of high power, and multiple signal layers where needed. In instances where routing islands need to be carved out above different ground or power regions in the PCB, four-layer stackups give you enough space with ground planes to implement such strategies. Although four-layer PCB stackups Read Article
Customize Your PCB Drill Sizes With Altium Designer Customize Your PCB Drill Sizes With Altium Designer Every PCB will need some holes, vias, slots, and other features that are defined in a PCB layout. These features need to be reflected in fabrication documents, and designers need tools to help them automate this process of creating documentation directly from their designs. It’s easy to keep track of your holes, vias, electrical behavior, and much more in Altium Designer, the industry’s top PCB design application for professional design engineers Read Article
Design Your Metal Core PCB in Altium Designer Design Your Metal Core PCB in Altium Designer Most printed circuit boards use a thick FR4 core layer to provide structural stability and interior copper layers for a multilayer PCB. If problems like excessive heat and low thermal dissipation are required in your particular application, you might consider designing with a metal core PCB. You’ll see other advantages like greater structural integrity, as well as a natural EMI shield thanks to the internal metal core. These circuit boards Read Article
IPC Classes and Complying with IPC Standards for PCB Design IPC Classes and Complying with IPC Standards for PCB Design Whether you work in electronics design, manufacturing, or even defense, the alphabet soup of standards organizations is extensive and may seem daunting. The IPC standards are among the most widely accepted and important standards for PCB design and manufacturing. IPC standards will influence how a designer creates their board and how they will prepare it for production in different industries. These standards are meant to ensure performance and Read Article
