What you will learn in this course
1
What happens with losses at higher speeds?
Now let us crank up the speed. When signals get faster the effects to look for changes a bit too, although the basic mechanisms are the same. We learn what to look for. What is fast and what is slow and why? How frequency-dependent losses slow down the edges and when it stops making sense to talk about edges in digital signals.
2
Understanding PCB materials
Gone are the days when you as a design engineer could leave the PCB materials, stackup, and specification to the purchasing people. When designing fast stuff, this responsibility sits squarely with you and in this section, we dive into PCB materials. The goal is to make you able to speak the language of the fab shop people and ask all the right questions.
3
Cu foil and PCB manufacturing
After defining the laminates and pre-pregs in a stackup, you also need to specify copper layers. Understand all there is to be aware of when we talk about Cu on a PCB. Then we go through the main parts of the manufacturing process of a PCB and learn why HDI is not the solution to everything.
4
Designing a stackup: strategies and trade-offs
How to stack the board and balance power planes, routing, fast and really fast signals, etc is the subject of this video. We also describe how to document this and select the right materials. Why we never route the really fast stuff on the outer layers etc.
5
Defining vias the right way for high-speed
Without resorting to via-woodo we go through the mechanical design process for a well toleranced via that can be used across the entire PCB. Also, for very high-speed signals. And how we avoid doing silly things like “differential vias” and “stitching vias”.
6
PCB surface finishes and why it matters
We finish off the course talking about PCB surface finishes (pun intended). The good, the bad, and the really ugly. And why the one everybody is using is a really bad idea. Ending it all with a summary showing how you can apply the whole course in your design work and what key things not to forget when doing so.
