Minimizing Crosstalk in PC Board Layout
In this ongoing series on PCB layout from the design team at PNC, previous posts have looked at some of the initial steps to turn a circuit schematic into a manufacturable, reliable PCB. These posts have looked at component placement [1], selecting appropriate trace widths [2], and BGA routing [3]. In this post we are going to take a deeper dive into methods for reducing crosstalk in the PCB design [4]. After the power and ground have been routed, the next task is to route high speed signal traces, and the traces that could either generate or receive crosstalk. What is ...
Accelerate your New Product Development with rapid PCB assembly prototyping
The time from concept to prototype has accelerated remarkably in the past decade. 3D printed prototype components in a wide variety of materials are available in hours. Machined or sheet metal components are available from rapid prototype shops in only one or two days. Prototype Printed Circuit Board Fabrication and assembly companies like PNC have followed this trend towards faster prototypes and can now provide complete assemblies in less time than ever before. PNC can fabricate and deliver a bare 10-12-layer PCB in just three days, and a simple double-sided board in just 24 hours. However, even with ...
