Multi-sided printed circuit board (PCB) designs can be complex, especially when utilizing more than two layers. This complexity may require additional circuits that cannot fit on just the top and bottom surfaces. In some cases, designers may opt to include internal power and ground planes to improve performance. The challenge lies in how PCB manufacturers balance these layers in the layout.
Various factors such as thermal issues, EMI, and ESD problems can impact the circuit’s performance and must be addressed. The primary focus for designers is rectifying electrical issues while also considering the physical configuration of the PCB. Even a flawless circuit board can experience warping or twisting, which manufacturers strive to address during the design phase to prevent complications during assembly.
Balanced layer stacking involves creating a symmetrical surface and cross-sectional structure to minimize potential deformation during processing, particularly during lamination. Deformation can hinder assembly and pose challenges for automated pick and place lines. It is crucial to address any design-related causes of bending or twisting early on to avoid issues during production.
While IPC standards outline acceptable levels of bending or twisting, proactive design review and adjustments are key to preventing such issues.
