Overview Miniaturization on Large Form Factor PCBA
February 24, 2016 | D. Geiger, A. Mohammed, M. Kurwa, AEG, Flextronics International Inc.Estimated reading time: 10 minutes
Summary
There are many techniques that have been used in consumer type of products for miniaturization. These are now migrating into infrastructure and industrial products as increasing functional density is still a driving factor in the design of products. Miniaturization in component size, finer pitches, stacked packages, and closer component spacing is capable of being used as long as the challenges are understood and can be addressed for a particular project. The trend will continue to create more density on the PCBA and further desire to utilize miniaturization technologies. Another key are not covered in this paper would be test and inspection technologies.

Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—The Pre-Manufacturing Process
05/08/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI have been working with Nolan Johnson on a podcast series about designing PCBs for the reality of manufacturing. By sharing lessons learned over a long career in the PCB industry, we hope to shorten learning curves and help designers produce better boards with less hassle and rework. Episode 2 deals with the electronic pre-manufacturing process. Moving from CAD (computer-aided design) to CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) is a key step in PCB manufacturing. CAM turns digital designs into instructions that machines can use to actually build the PCB.
