When should you choose a 2-layer PCB or a 4-layer PCB?
In PCB design, the choice between 2-layer and 4-layer boards directly impacts product performance and cost. 2-layer boards offer the advantages of a simple structure and low cost (saving 30% in costs, 48-hour quick prototyping), making them an ideal choice for simple circuits (such as home appliance control boards). Meanwhile, 4-layer boards utilize specialized layer stacking designs (signal-ground-power-signal structure) to deliver exceptional signal integrity and EMC performance for high-frequency applications (increasing transmission distance by 15%) and complex circuits (reducing signal interference by 50%).
