With over twenty years experience in PCB design, I’ve completed designs incorporating the following technologies:
- FR4 Double-sided Plated Through-Hole
- FR4 Multilayer
- Flexible and Flexi-Rigid Designs
- Buried and Blind Vias
- Laser Drilled Micro-Vias
- BGA down to 0.5 mm pitch
- Radio Frequency (r.f.) layout
- Impedance Control and Differential Pairs
- Inch 0201, Metric 0603 surface-mount chip size
- FR2 Paper Phenol single sided, double-sided, and double sided with Silver-Plated Vias for mass-production consumer goods
Applications for PCBs I’ve designed have included:
- Portable and Fixed Installation Gas Detection Equipment
- Control Panels and Systems
- Intrinsic Safety (IS) Designs to ATEX, IECEx, and UL Certification, for products used in Zone 0 Hazardous Areas
- IPC Performance Class 3 PCB Assemblies
- Designs meeting EMC requirements for the Marine Equipment Directive (MED)
- Designs for Military Applications
- Designs for Mass-Production Consumer Goods
- Designs for Research and Development activities
- R.F., Audio and Analog Television
