Study Notes
Multi-layer Boards Overview
- Multi-layer boards are essential in high-density connection scenarios where dual-layer options are inadequate.
- They provide advantages such as precise control over line impedances and effective earth screening.
Structure and Composition
- Multi-layer boards consist of multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs) stacked together.
- A thin layer of 'prepreg' material, which acts as a bonding agent, is located between each PCB layer, creating a layered assembly.
Design and Configuration
- The design of the top PCB closely resembles a traditional PCB but features components spaced more closely together to minimize terminal requirements.
- Additional layers within the board facilitate necessary interconnections for enhanced functionality.
Interconnection Method
- Different layers of a multi-layer board are interconnected using plated through-holes, strategically placed throughout the design.
- This method ensures effective electrical continuity and signal transmission across layers.
Layer Count
- Multi-layer boards typically contain three or more circuit layers.
- In advanced applications, some multi-layer boards may incorporate up to 50 layers, accommodating complex circuitry and connections.
