STOCKHOLM – A course on PCB stackup design will be held here June 14. The class will be conducted by Lee Ritchey, founder and president of Speeding Edge.

The course is developed to aid design engineers in evaluating and selecting laminate and then designing a PCB stackup that meets the requirements of a complex, multilayer board.

The first portion of this class consists of a one-hour session based on Isola Group materials. Topics to be addressed include the building blocks available for core and prepreg materials; the impact of material selection; an overview of available materials, and what designers should look for during the evaluation and selection process.

This training session addresses accounting for copper roughness and its effect on overall signal loss; specifying copper roughness to ensure repeatable loss from lot to lot and fabricator to fabricator; specifying glass weave styles to minimize differential skew; determining plane copper thickness to ensure power delivery needs are met, and specifying dielectric materials that are readily available and economical to manufacture.
