SUNNYVALE, CA — (Marketwire) — 09/20/11 — Sierra Circuits, the leader in QuickTurn HDI PCBs, today announced that it will demonstrate the latest version of its HDI Stackup Planner software at the PCB West Conference & Exhibition in Santa Clara. Additionally, Amit Bahl, Marketing Director for Sierra Circuits, will present courses on PCB design for high pin count BGAs, and HDI reliability with an emphasis on CAF. The complete show details are as follows:
September 27-29, 2011
Santa Clara Convention Center, 5001 Great America Parkway
Santa Clara, CA 95054
204-206
Sierra Circuits will demonstrate the new ease-of use enhancements to its HDI Stackup Planner tool, a product that enables PCB layout designers to create complex HDI PCB stackups in just a few hours. The new enhancements provide customers with more flexibility by constructing a much larger set of stackup options to meet specific design requirements. The HDI Stackup Planner Tool is available free online at
Tuesday, September 27, 1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.; and
Thursday, September 29, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
This is a practical technical session designed to teach how to shorten the HDI PCB layout design cycle and how to apply HDI design manufacturing capabilities to a constraint-driven PCB design flow. It will explain which processes and features cost most for HDI designs. Also shown will be examples of BGA breakouts (0.8 to 0.25mm).
Wednesday, September 28, 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
This session will look at the expected reliability from stacked via technology. It will review IPC-6016 and discuss where it falls short for HDI PCBs. It also will cover required process controls for manufacturing with laser-drilled microvias.
