PCB layer

How to scientifically select the number of PCB layers?

PCB layer selection involves analyzing key factors such as circuit complexity, frequency requirements, cost constraints, and signal integrity. Practical selection methods include pin density calculations and BGA adaptation rules, while also exploring advanced technologies such as HDI (high-density interconnect) and stacking optimization.

4-layer PCB

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%).

PCB overload

Will too many components on a PCB cause overload?

This article systematically analyzes the hazards of PCB overload (such as copper foil melting and signal distortion) and provides a comprehensive protection solution, including precise current-carrying capacity calculation (100A-level 4OZ copper thickness solution), power integrity optimization (decoupling capacitor matrix), VIPPO copper filling (current-carrying capacity ↑30%), and three-proof coating protection (salt spray test 1000h) with real-time current/ temperature monitoring, and three-level fuse protection (action <50ms), providing a reliable reference for high-power electronic design.
