Precision Analog Partitioning
Layer arrangement and copper layout are considered for defined analog regions, return paths and keep-outs around references, amplifiers, filters, converters and digital control.
PCB Solutions for Test & Measurement
Test and measurement boards combine low-level analog inputs, high-speed conversion, RF paths and dense digital processing. PCB construction considers signal partitions, reference structures, connector geometry and fixture access. MWX PCB supports multilayer and high-layer, RF and microwave, and HDI PCB manufacturing for these applications.
PCB Requirements & Manufacturing Considerations
Multichannel Acquisition Routing
Stack-up details, trace escape areas, via structures and reference-plane continuity are considered for sensor inputs, multiplexed paths, converter interfaces and timing signals.
High-Speed Digital Paths
Specified impedance targets, layer references, trace definitions and drilling features are considered for fast converter interfaces and processing links.
RF Test Signal Features
Material callouts, dielectric dimensions, copper features and connector footprints are considered for controlled RF paths, shielding interfaces and high-frequency connectors.
Connector and Fixture Access
Board outline, edge plating, holes, test pads, fiducials and local clearances are considered for instrument and fixture connections at edges, headers and probe fields.
Controlled Documentation
Fabrication drawings, stack-up notes, panel restrictions and inspection information are coordinated with Gerber files and drill data for dimensions, special features and test definitions.
Typical Applications
- Data Acquisition Modules
- Oscilloscope Front-End Boards
- Spectrum Analyzer RF Boards
- Automated Test Equipment Cards
- Precision Source-Measure Units
- RF Calibration Fixture Boards
