The quality of multilayer PCBs is determined by factors other than the number of layers. The misconception that “more layers mean better quality” should be dispelled. Reliability hinges on stacking design, material selection, and process control.

Medical electronic devices place far higher demands on printed circuit boards (PCBs) than traditional electronic products. Medical-grade PCBs have strict requirements in terms of material selection, cleanliness control, precision wiring, biological safety, and environmental durability.

Definition, calculation methods, manufacturing standards, and common issues related to PCB annular rings. This article delves into the critical role of annular rings in circuit board design, offering professional design recommendations and process control points to optimize PCB reliability.

PCBA manufacturing costs include: PCB manufacturing (20-30% of total costs), component procurement (40-60%), assembly processes (SMT/DIP), and quality inspection. It also includes operational optimization strategies that enable manufacturers to strike a balance between quality and budget.

The performance of PCB circuit boards depends on several key parameters, such as dielectric constant (DK value), glass transition temperature (Tg), heat resistance (Td), CTI (creep trace index), and CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion). Different board materials (such as FR4, CEM-3, and high Tg PCB) are suitable for different applications, such as high-frequency communications, automotive electronics, or high-power equipment.

The fundamental principles and advanced techniques of high-speed PCB layout design, including signal integrity management (transmission line theory, reflection control), power integrity optimization (PDN design, decoupling strategies), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) considerations, help achieve optimal performance in high-speed PCB design while addressing common challenges in modern electronic product development.
