HSD PCB

Planning PCB Layouts for High-Speed Digital Signals

As circuits shrink and bit rates increase, achieving acceptable signal integrity (SI) requires experience and creativity. It calls for foresight in layout planning to keep signal paths short, which helps minimize interference between closely spaced circuits. Circuit materials must support electrical and mechanical design specifications, and components must be selected for optimum size and placement. All these factors combine to create many challenges when developing an HSD PCB.
