Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

iCD Launches QuickSolver Edition of Stackup Planner
May 24, 2017 | Barry Olney, In-Circuit DesignEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In-Circuit Design Pty Ltd (iCD), Australia, developer of the iCD Design Integrity software, has added the new iCD QuickSolver software to its growing product line.
“The iCD QuickSolver represents a price-performance breakthrough for field solver technology,” said iCD CEO Barry Olney. “The majority of digital designs these days require controlled impedance transmission lines. But few designers have access to an accurate field solver. We want to empower every PCB designer with this technology by offering a no-frills Stackup Planner at a very affordable price point.”
The iCD QuickSolver is an inexpensive edition of the popular iCD Stackup Planner that is powered by the same precision 2D BEM field solver and provides everything you need to accurately model the characteristic and differential impedance of multilayer PCBs utilizing blind and buried vias. You can also optionally add an Altium Designer bi-directional interface or license to a USB dongle to move the application between PCs.
iCD QuickSolver features include:
- 2D BEM field solver technology, the most affordable impedance control solution available
- Powerful inexpensive Stackup Planner, the industry-leading precision planner for eight signal/plane layers
- Ideal for independent designer, licensed to one PC or a USB dongle
- Characteristic impedance, edge-coupled and broadside-coupled differential impedance
- Dual build-up microstrip plus dual symmetric and asymmetric stripline
- Support for PTH plus blind and buried vias
- Automatically generates a fabrication drawing in Excel
- Optional Altium Designer bi-directional interface with design rules export
