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
