SMT High Density Design and DFM

SMT High Density Book imageBook Description
There are many things we need to know when we get into advanced designs using SMT. Needed is information for high density design rules, zero defect designs and a better understanding of the new requirements for "design for manufacturability". All this is covered in this book

To improve your ability to design with zero defects we have structured the book in a sequence paralleling the designing of the product. You will find the book will prepare you to ask the correct questions at the correct time to prevent redesigns and costly mistakes.

To design high density products, there are several helpful items in this publication. Included in this publication are multiple sets of design rules for standard, high density and ultra-high density designs not published anywhere else. The placement guidelines are very useful as well as information on how to put vias into lands under certain conditions, and how to modify land shapes to gain precious real estate.

Who Will Benefit
This book will be of immense value to both circuit designers as well as CAD designers, and those involved in product testing, fabrication, troubleshooting and debug of high-speed products.
