signaallaag

Signaallaag is a term used in printed circuit board (PCB) design to refer to a copper layer that carries electrical signals between components. In multilayer boards, there are typically alternating signal layers and plane layers, with the latter providing power distribution and shielding. A signaallaag is normally patterned with traces and pads, while plane layers are kept as large, continuous copper regions.

Signaallaag characteristics include copper thickness, which is commonly specified in ounces (for example 1 oz ≈ 35 µm). The layer is separated from adjacent layers by dielectric material such as prepreg or core laminates in the stack-up. The spacing and dielectric properties together with trace geometry determine the characteristic impedance of high-speed or RF signals. Designers use impedance-controlled routing to maintain signal integrity, particularly for differential pairs and high-frequency lines.

Manufacturing and layout considerations for signaallaag involve routing strategy, trace widths and spacings, vias, and clearance to prevent crosstalk and обеспечивает reliable soldering. Vias connect traces from one signaallaag to another or to plane layers; advanced boards may use blind or buried vias to save layer space. Detrimental effects such as signal reflections, EMI, and impedance discontinuities are mitigated through careful stack-up design and controlled etching processes during fabrication.

In summary, a signaallaag is a dedicates signal-carrying copper layer within a PCB, distinct from plane layers used for power and grounding, and it play a central role in the routing of electrical signals on modern multilayer boards.
