NOVEMBER 2024 I DESIGN007 MAGAZINE 71
Exciting news for listeners of
On the Line with... PCB 3.0: A
New Design Methodology, the
popular podcast series hosted
by I-Connect007. A 10-page
companion guide featuring
insights from Cadence's subject matter experts
is now available for download.
Pulsonix, the electronic design
automation (EDA) company
delivering technology-leading
PCB design solutions, today
announces the 2024 release
of Pulsonix-Version 13.0.
In the previous episode of I-Connect007's
On the Line with… podcast, we painted
the picture of the outer layer imaging pro-
cess. Now we are ready for pattern plat-
ing, where fabrication can get tricky. The
board is now ready to receive the copper
traces, pads, and other elements specified
in the original CAD design.
To accommodate
new generations of
high I/O semicon-
ductor packaging,
circuit board technol-
ogy has undergone
significant changes
in both the fabrication process method and the criteria for
base material selection. The reason behind these changes
is the new high-function semiconductor package families
that require more terminals than their predecessors and a
significantly narrower terminal pitch.
We recently spoke with IPC
instructor Kris Moyer about
partial HDI, a process that's
recently been growing in
popularity. Partial HDI allows
designers to escape route out
from tight-pitch BGAs on one
layer, where a mechanically
drilled plated through-hole is
not an option, while avoiding
the complexity and expense of
sequential lamination cycles.
The integration between Key-
sight's Advanced Design System
(ADS) and the Siemens Xpedi-
tion Enterprise suite of EDA tools
enables engineers to more effi-
ciently co-design digital systems
and radio frequency (RF) circuits by performing lay-
out and manufacturing in Xpedition and RF Circuit
and electromagnetic simulation in Keysight ADS.
