Multilayer PCB

A multilayer PCB is a printed circuit board composed of multiple layers of conductive and insulating materials, stacked and laminated together to form a single board. Multilayer PCBs enable the integration of complex and high-density circuitry within a compact form factor.

Advantages of multilayer PCBs include:

  • Increased Circuit Density: By stacking multiple layers, multilayer PCBs allow for more interconnections and components within a smaller footprint, making them ideal for complex electronic devices.
  • Improved Electrical Performance: Multilayer designs provide better control over signal integrity, impedance, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) through the use of dedicated power and ground planes.
