What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access? What Ultra-HDI PCB Capabilities Can You Access? When we talk about packaging, substrate-like PCBs, and fine-line PCBs, we are collectively referencing an area where PCB fabrication processing is pushing to the limit. This area is ultra-HDI, where the typical features in a PCB are scaled down to very small values. These more advanced capabilities enable traditional design practices with larger BGAs, but instead scaled into very fine pitches (0.3 mm) requiring tight spacing and linewidth. These Read Article
Common Flex Design Mistakes and How to Fix Them Common Flex Design Mistakes and How to Fix Them The ability to bend, flex and fold are one of the primary benefits of flexible circuit materials and while there are several examples of flexible circuit designs that withstand hundreds of thousands of even millions of flexes, the reality is that designs that are dynamically flexing often have had the design updated many times before reaching optimal performance. The good news for designers new to flexible circuit designs is that most flexible Read Article
