Live Webcast: Designing PCB Stackups for Impedance Controlled Boards

The PCB stackup is the fundamental building block for the whole printed circuit board, and often one of the most important, yet neglected, parts of the hardware design. With a majority of today’s interconnects requiring controlled impedances on signal layers to maximize signal quality, it’s crucial to consider the PCB stackup configuration to meet those design goals. Additionally, it’s important to know how to properly convey your stackup design intentions to the manufacturer, so performance and cost goals can be met.

In this webinar, we’ll look at several different considerations for both impedance planning and PCB stackup design. We’ll cover principles of how stackup parameters, such as dielectric thickness and trace width, impact impedance, as well as tips to help your manufacturer achieve your design intent.
