PCB Stackup Explained: Manufacturing Boundaries Every Designer Must Know

10-layer PCB stackup showing core, prepreg, copper layers, and manufacturing dimensions

Your PCB stackup, both literally and figuratively, is the foundation for your new product. Although the PCB stackup enables everything in your layout, it imposes important constraints on routing and manufacturing. It is up to designers to understand these constraints before sending a PCB out for quoting and fabrication. By ignoring some basic manufacturability constraints, […]
