New Podcast Episode: How
Does UHDI Benefit SWaP?
I-Connect007 has just released the latest epi-
sode in its groundbreaking podcast series on
one of the most important innovations shaping
the future of electronics manufacturing: ultra
high density interconnect (UHDI).
Fresh PCB Concepts: Investing in
Tomorrow's PCB Experts Today
People often describe the PCB industry as one of the
most critical yet invisible foundations of modern elec-
tronics. Every project needs a PCB, but few college
programs or engineering curricula cover the complex-
ity of board design, stackups, or manufacturability.
That means the responsibility for developing the next
generation of PCB experts falls on the industry itself.
Understanding Signal
Integrity, the Foundation of
High-speed Digital Design
Several decades ago, signal speeds were
very slow (compared to today's signal speed).
Signal integrity
(SI) didn't seem to
be a high priority,
and balanced
PCB structures,
impedance
requirements,
routing techniques
such as microstrip and stripline, were not a
major requirement or focus to address.
Target Condition: Rethinking the
PCB Stackup Recipe
Marie Antoinette is
attributed with saying,
"Let them eat cake,"
but historians now
agree she likely
never said it. It was
probably revolution-
ary propaganda to
paint her as out of touch with the starving masses.
Yet, the phrase still lingers, and oddly enough, it
applies to the world of PCB design.
UHDI Fundamentals: UHDI Technology and Quality 5.0
The convergence of ultra-high density interconnect (UHDI) technology
and Quality 5.0 represents a transformative leap in electronics design
and manufacturing. UHDI enables extreme miniaturization and enhanced
performance, while Quality 5.0 delivers adaptive, intelligent human-
centric quality systems.
