PCB Design Considerations for High Speed Digital Circuits

Advanced thought is required to build high-speed circuitry. Without a proactive approach, it will be extremely difficult to get the speeds you’re looking for. High-speed PCB design focuses on creating circuit boards that are less vulnerable to signal integrity, power integrity, and EMI/EMC problems. While no design is ever completely free of these issues, there are things PCB designers do to reduce them to an unnoticeable degree. This way, they won’t cause problems in the final product. Below...

Top 5 Things to Know when Designing a PCB

Building a printed circuit board (PCB) is a complicated task. These boards have a lot of associations between layers, components, and circuitry and they must all be properly handled. Otherwise, the PCB may not function correctly. Fortunately, there are simple practices that PCB designers follow to make the process more accurate, manageable, and efficient. Below are the top five considerations that PCB manufacturers keep in mind when designing a printed circuit board. 1. Component Placement The...

What are Stitching Vias in Printed Circuit Boards?

Stitching vias, also known as via stitching, are a design practice where a series of vias are strategically placed around the perimeter of a ground plane or a signal trace on a PCB. These vias connect the top and bottom layers of the board, creating a continuous conductive path. The purpose of stitching vias is to enhance the electrical and thermal conductivity of the PCB and to improve signal integrity and reliability, especially in high-frequency and high-speed applications. Let’s learn...
