There are also two ways of layout, manual routing and automatic routing. PowerPCB provides manual routing capabilities that are powerful, including automatic push and online design rule checking (DRC). Automatic routing is performed by Specctra's cabling engine. Usually these two methods work together. The common steps are manual-auto-manual.

RF Design: Electromagnetic Properties at Interconnect Points

Posted on May 25, 2018 by G

There are indications that the frequency of PCB design is getting higher and higher. As the data rate continues to increase, the bandwidth required for data transfer also contributes to signal frequencies up to 1 GHz, or even higher. Although this high-frequency signal technology far exceeds the millimeter wave technology range (30GHz), it does involve RF and low-end microwave technologies.

1. Try to increase the distance (S) between parallel lines, at least greater than 3H, and H refers to the distance the signal is routed to the reference plane. The popular saying is to walk around the big bend. As long as S is big enough, it can almost completely avoid the mutual coupling effect.

Protel99's electrical layer is divided into two types, open a PCB design document press, shortcut L, there is a layer settings window. The SIGNAL LAYER on the left is a positive layer, including TOP LAYER, BOTTOM LAYER, and MIDLAYER, and the middle one (INTERNAL PLANES) is a negative layer, ie INTERNAL LAYER. Both layers have completely different properties and methods of use.

How to Solve Signal Integrity Problems in PCB Design and Layout

Posted on May 16, 2018 by G

To solve signal integrity problems, it is best to have multiple tools to analyze system performance. If there is an A/D converter in the signal path, then when evaluating the circuit performance, it is easy to find three basic problems: all three methods evaluate the conversion process, as well as the conversion process and PCB layout and other parts of the circuit. Interaction. Three areas of concern relate to the use of frequency domain analysis, time domain analysis, and DC analysis techniques. This article will explore how to use these tools to determine the root cause of issues related to PCB layout and layout. We will study how to decide what to look for; where to find it; how to test the problem through testing; and how to solve problems found.

MOEMS packaging technology

Posted on May 11, 2018 by G

MOEMS packaging technology can be divided into several major aspects of die fixing, housing, wiring and optical interconnection. In MOEMS, commercial devices require a practical MOEMS hybrid reliable and safety shielded package. Due to the non-contact and non-insertion of optics, the packaging of PCB design MOEMS devices is much easier than the packaging of MEMS devices, and MEMS designs can be utilized, but excellent and reliable light alignment is required.

PCB Design MOEMS Technology and Packaging

Posted on May 11, 2018 by G

The Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MOEMS) is an emerging technology that has recently become one of the hottest technologies in the world. MOEMS is a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) that uses an optical subsystem. It contains micro-mechanical light modulators, micro-mechanical optical switches, ICs, and other components, and utilizes the miniaturization, multiplicity, and microelectronics of MEMS technology. Seamless integration of optical devices and electrical devices. Simply put, MOEMS is a further integration of system-level chips. Compared with large-scale opto-mechanical devices, PCB design MOEMS devices are smaller, lighter, and faster (having a higher resonant frequency) and can use mass production techniques. Compared with the waveguide mode, this free space mode has the advantages of lower coupling loss and smaller crosstalk. The changes in photonics and information technology directly promote the development of MOEMS. Figure 1 shows the relationship between microelectronics, micromechanics, optoelectronics, fiber optics, MEMS and MOEMS. Nowadays, information technology is rapidly developing and constantly updated. By 2010, the speed of light can reach Tb/s. The ever-increasing data rate and the demand for higher-performance next-generation devices have driven the demand for MOEMS and optical interconnects, and the application of PCB design MOEMS devices in the field of optoelectronics continues to grow.
