Single panel PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a common electronic component carrier that plays an important role in electronic device manufacturing. A single panel PCB typically consists of a layer of insulating substrate and a layer of conductive copper foil. The insulating substrate can be made of materials such as phenolic resin, glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin, etc., which have good insulation properties and mechanical strength. Conductive copper foil is formed into circuit patterns through etching and other processes, connecting various electronic components. In terms of design, single panel PCBs are relatively simple. Due to the presence of conductive lines on only one side, the layout is more intuitive and easy to design and manufacture. For some simple electronic circuits, such as control circuits for small electronic products, simple sensor circuits, etc., single panel PCB is an economical choice. In terms of production technology, the production process of single pane
Multilayer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) occupies an important position in modern electronic technology. A multi-layer PCB is a circuit board composed of multiple conductive and insulating layers alternately stacked. Typically, a multi-layer PCB can contain three to ten or even more conductive layers. This structural design provides higher integration and more complex circuit layout possibilities for electronic devices. Firstly, multi-layer PCB has excellent space utilization. On a limited circuit board area, multi-layer design can accommodate more electronic components and circuit wiring. This is crucial for modern miniaturized and high-performance electronic devices. For example, in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, multi-layer PCBs can tightly integrate numerous chips, sensors, and other electronic components together, achieving lightweight and high-performance devices. Secondly, multi-layer PCB can provide better electrical performance. Due to the insulation laye
Classified by the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, it can be divided into raw materials - copper-clad laminates - printed circuit boards - electronic product applications. Its relationship is simply expressed as follows: Foslite Electronics Industry Chain Fiberglass Cloth: Fiberglass cloth is one of the raw materials for copper-clad laminates, woven from fiberglass yarn, accounting for about 40% (thick plate) and 25% (thin plate) of the cost of copper-clad laminates. Fiberglass yarn is made by calcining raw materials such as silica sand into a liquid state in a kiln, pulling them into extremely fine glass fibers through extremely small alloy nozzles, and then twisting hundreds of glass fibers into fiberglass yarn. The construction investment of kilns is huge, usually requiring hundreds of millions of funds, and once ignited, it must be produced continuously for 24 hours, with huge entry and exit costs. Fiberglass cloth manufacturing is similar to weaving enterprises,
Single sided PCB circuit board, also known as single panel, is a common type of printed circuit board. A single-sided PCB circuit board typically consists of a substrate and a layer of copper foil. The substrate generally uses insulating materials such as glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin to provide support and insulation for the circuit. Copper foil is used to form circuit patterns through etching and other processes, achieving connections between electronic components. The production of single panels is relatively simple and cost-effective. In terms of design, since only one side can be wired, the circuit layout needs to be more carefully planned. Usually, components are concentrated on one side, while the other side is mainly used for welding. This layout makes single panels widely used in some simple electronic devices, such as small appliances, toys, and simple electronic instruments. One of the advantages of single-sided PCB circuit boards is their ease of production and
The PCB production process mainly includes steps such as design, graphic conversion, plate making, etching, drilling, coating, soldering, testing, and cleaning. design phase The design phase is the starting point of PCB production, where CAD software is used to design circuit schematics and PCB layouts, determining information such as PCB board dimensions, wiring methods, and pad sizes. Graphic Conversion Stage After the design is completed, it is necessary to convert the circuit schematic and PCB layout into Gerber files for plate making and etching processes. Plate making stage Plate making is the core process in PCB production, which involves converting Gerber files into photoresist film, and then transferring the photoresist film pattern onto copper foil through exposure, development, and other processes to create the circuit and graphics of the PCB board. Etching stage Etching is the process of removing unwanted copper foil parts by immersing the plated copper foil in
After the entire circuit board design is completed, the PCB circuit board needs to be SMT mounted with components. Each SMT processing factory will determine the most suitable size for the circuit board according to the processing requirements of the assembly line. For example, if the size is too small or too large, the fixtures that fix the circuit board on the assembly line cannot be fixed. So the question is, what if the size of our circuit board itself is smaller than the size specified by the factory? That means we need to assemble the circuit boards together, combining multiple circuit boards into a single piece. Splicing can significantly improve efficiency for both high-speed surface mount machines and wave soldering. It is easy to separate multiple boards during assembly to avoid damaging the circuit board during separation. Determine which assembly method to use based on the shape of the single type of board you are assembling. The main ways of PCB layout are V-CUT, punc
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) vias are a crucial step in PCB design. From the basic concept of via, it is mainly used to connect electrical connections between different layers of PCB. In multi-layer PCB design, signals need to be transmitted between different signal layers, and vias provide such a channel. Vias usually consist of three parts, namely the hole, the pads around the hole, and the plating layer in the middle. The size of the hole directly affects the production process and cost of the via hole. Generally speaking, the common via hole diameter is between 0.2-0.6mm. When designing through holes, multiple factors need to be considered. From the perspective of signal integrity, the parasitic capacitance and inductance of vias have a significant impact on the transmission of high-speed signals. Parasitic capacitance can cause the rising and falling edges of a signal to slow down, thereby affecting the timing of the signal. Parasitic inductance may generate spike voltage dur
Aluminum substrate: Most fluorescent lamps on the market are made of aluminum substrate. The structures from top to bottom are: circuit board layer, thermal insulation layer, and aluminum substrate. Circuit board layer: Copper foil with strong current carrying capacity is mainly used as the circuit. Copper is relatively expensive, so the thickness of copper foil directly affects the price of aluminum substrate. Some aluminum substrates in the market make the copper foil thinner, which makes the price cheaper, but the current carrying capacity of the product will be reduced. Thermal insulation layer: The best thermal insulation effect is achieved by a special ceramic polymer, but the price is very high. Aluminum substrates made from this material are priced at over 1000 yuan/square meter, which is difficult to accept in China. In order to reduce costs and improve competitiveness in the market, other materials such as epoxy resin and glass cloth are used instead. Aluminum substrat

If analog circuits (RF) and digital circuits (microcontrollers) work separately, they may work well on their own, but once they are placed on the same circuit board and powered by the same power source, the entire system is likely to become unstable. This is mainly due to the frequent oscillation of digital signals between ground and positive power supply (3 V in size), and the period is particularly short, often at the ns level. Due to their large amplitude and small switching time, these digital signals contain a large number of high-frequency components that are independent of the switching frequency. In the simulation part, the signal transmitted from the antenna tuning loop to the wireless device receiving part is generally less than 1 μ V. Therefore, the difference between digital signals and RF signals will reach 10-6 (120 dB). Obviously, if digital signals cannot be well separated from radio frequency signals, weak radio frequency signals may be damaged, which can deteriora
