8 need-to-know Errors of PCB design

We often find some rules or principles that we take for granted will be some errors. Electronic engineers in pcb design will have such examples. The following eight errors are a summary of an engineer. Error 1: requirement of PCB board design is not high,so use a little fine line, and do the routing automatically. Comments: […]

Refuse rework! 5 golden rules of PCB design

PCB circuit board is the basal electronic components in all electronic products. As the main support, it is equipped with all the devices composed the circuit. PCB role not only combines scattered element, but also ensure the rules of the circuit design,which is good to avoid the confusion and error artificial phenomenon caused by manual […]

3W principle of PCB design

In the PCB design ,in order to reduce crosstalk between lines, we should ensure line spacing is large enough.When the distance between the line center is not less than three times than line width,you can keep most of the electric field noninterference,which is 3W principles. As shown below: meeting 3W principle enables crosstalk between signals […]

Shielding method of high-speed PCB design

Transfer rate of high-speed PCB design wiring system is steadily accelerating, it also brings a certain anti-interference vulnerability.This is because the higher the frequency of the transmission, sensitivity to signals increase, while their energy is increasingly weak. At this point wiring system is more susceptible to interference. Interference is everywhere.Cables and equipment will cause the […]

The interpretation of common nouns in PCB Manufacturing and Design

The assembly layer is used to represent the physical size of the device.It can be used when the mounter is welding. Assembly layer can put a nominal value of the device, such as the value of resistance and capacitance .This is very convenient to assembly maintenance . We will certainly encounter solder Mask and paste […]

Grid settings Skills in the PCB design layout

First, PCB design requires different grid settings at different stages. A large grid point can be used for component layout in the layout stage。 For IC, non-locating connectors and other large components, you can use the grid point accuracy 50-100mil for the PCB layout, and for resistors and capacitors and inductors and other passive small […]

Necessary knowledge of PCB design _ specifications of PCB layout and design

We all know that “nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards”, the technology too. What specification should pay attention to when designing PCB ? 1. layout design specification A,The distance to edge should be greater than 5mm or 197mil B, first place the components that is close to the structure, such as connectors, switches, […]

Two great tips of PCB software CAM350

CAM350 is the industry standard for PCB verification, optimization and output generation to efficiently and effectively drive PCB fabrication. More and more complicated PCB designs require comprehensive verification before they are transferred to the PCB manufacturer to ensure a perfect and timely produce of bare PCB boards. Problems emerging during the PCB manufacturing can effect […]

Little PCB knowledge – the relation between ounces and thickness of bonded copper

Today we going to share the pcb knowledge about the copper thickness unit, which should be usefull for the new PCB designers. The thickness of 1 oz is about 35 um. 1 oz mean weight of the average copper foil in the area of 1 square foot is 28.35g, which use the the weight of […]
