PCB Laminate Material Information
PCB Laminate Material InformationHere you will find a number of different laminate materials used to fabricate printed circuit boards for advanced electronic applications. Among these are materials with a range of dielectric constants, low dissipation factor, and controlled mechanical properties. S
Different Types of Vias in High-Density Interconnection (HDI) PCBs
Different Types of ViasDepending on their functionality, there are different types of vias that are drilled into a PCB.Through-hole viasThe hole penetrates from the top layer to the bottom layer. They can be either PTH or NPTH. For PTH, the connection is established from the top to the bottom layer.
The Top 10 Tips to Design High Speed PCB
The Top 10 Tips to Make Your First High Speed PCB Design Project a SuccessIt wasn’t that long ago when the word “high speed” didn’t exist in the vocabulary of PCB designers. But these days, it seems to be just the opposite. Back then, the concern was all about putting the puzzle pieces together and

How to generate Gerber and Drill files from Eagle
When you finished your design in Eagle, the last step before sending it off to the fab house is to generate gerber files. Autodesk EAGLE includes a handy computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) processor that allows you to load a CAM file and quickly generate the specific files you need for your design.1
