The real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Alternate Metallization Processes
Traditional electroless copper and electroless copper immersion gold have been primary PCB plating methods for decades. But alternative plating metals and processes have been introduced over the past few years as miniaturization and advanced packaging continue to develop.

Keysight’s 5G Solutions Enables Compal to Validate Consumer Focused 5G Products
August 31, 2020 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced that Compal has selected Keysight’s 5G test platform to validate radio frequency (RF) and data throughput performance of consumer focused 5G products, including laptops, smartphones, wearables and tablets.
Compal, a leading original design manufacturer (ODM) headquartered in Taiwan, uses Keysight’s 5G device test solutions, based on Keysight’s UXM 5G wireless test platform, to validate 5G products in various form factors across any 3GPP-defined frequency band for deployment in both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) mode. The solutions support Compal’s 5G-related R&D investments, including 5G products and applications adopted in smart agriculture, smart manufacturing, health care and cloud gaming vertical markets.
Since its inception more than three decades ago, Compal has developed products for the information, communications and technology (ICT) industry. Keysight’s 5G solutions enable Compal to quickly and cost-effectively meet a wide range of requirements, from design to manufacturing, to ensure end-products meet the high-performance standards established by the company.
“Working with 5G leaders such as Keysight, who is equally dedicated to delivering quality technology solutions in line with market timelines, Compal can validate a wide range of products that delight consumers around the world,” stated Yi-Yun Chang, R&D vice president at Compal. “Partners that understand diversified markets help us engineer human-centric functional, yet esthetically pleasing, products aimed for various sectors.”
As a partner of Qualcomm’s modem solutions, Compal leverages Keysight’s presence in Qualcomm’s ecosystem of 5G device makers to accelerate design verification and development. Keysight’s end-to-end solutions for testing 5G devices, data centers, wireless routers and 5G network infrastructure equipment allow original design manufacturers such as Compal to streamline test processes using common software and hardware solutions.
“We’re pleased to support Compal develop and manufacture products with humans in mind,” said Cao Peng, senior director at Keysight. “Keysight’s 5G test solutions enable a connected ecosystem to address wide-ranging opportunities in a wireless industry that serves multiple sectors including healthcare, IoT and automotive.”

PCB Layout Rules of Thumb for Consideration
11/25/2024 | Patrick Davis, Cadence Design SystemsJust because a “rule of thumb” is usually based on experience instead of precise facts doesn’t negate its value. For instance, when I told my kids that a good rule of thumb was not to back-talk to their mother, they discovered very quickly how accurate my advice was once they crossed that line. There are a lot of rules of thumb that we rely on daily, including those that apply to PCB design.
HPC Customer Engages Sondrel for High End Chip Design

Rules of Thumb for PCB Layout
11/21/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007The dictionary defines a “rule of thumb” as “a broadly accurate guide or principle, based on experience or practice rather than theory.” Rules of thumb are often the foundation of a PCB designer’s thought process when tackling a layout. Ultimately, a product spec or design guideline will provide the detailed design guidance, but rules of thumb can help to provide the general guidance that will help to streamline the layout process and avoid design or manufacturing issues.
