Current IssueProper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.
All About That Route
Most designers favor manual routing, but today's interactive autorouters may be changing designers' minds by allowing users more direct control. In this issue, our expert contributors discuss a variety of manual and autorouting strategies.

EMC & Technica to Introduce New Ultra High Speed Materials at DesignCon 2018
January 22, 2018 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Increasing transmission speeds require the need to support the future in 100 to 400GbE switch or router, 5G wireless network, PCIe 4.0/ 5.0 mega-data center and HPC, as well as other high technology designs, Elite Material Co., Ltd. (EMC) has officially released EM-528, EM-528K, EM-890 and EM-890K halogen-free ultra-high speed materials which enable high speed signals to be transmitted at 25 to 64Gbps with consistent reliability and performance.
According to EMC’s beta-site test results, EM-528 Very Low Loss material was designed with Dk: 3.5/ Df: 0.0060@10GHz (by cavity resonator under 65% resin content) and has similar insertion loss performance as the current leading laminate materials applied for 100GbE network with significant cost reduction; while EM-890K Ultra Low Loss material was formulated with Dk: 2.9/ Df: 0.0024@10GHz (by cavity resonator under 65% resin content) which outperforms any current leading laminate materials used for 400GbE market with the most competitive cost.
EMC is confident that these new advanced halogen-free ultra high-speed materials will be the best solutions for both OEMs and ODMs who have long been in the trade-off dilemma between performance and cost. Stated by Albert Tung, President of EMC, “EM-528, EM-528K, EM-890 and EM-890K once again demonstrates our continued innovation and commitment to meet the halogen-free requirements of the most cutting edge high-speed PCB designs developed by Datacom, Telecom, Server and Storage industries."
Frank Medina, president of Technica USA added, “EMC is the global leader of halogen-free laminates and also enjoys the outstanding reputation of its world class quality. Not only have these new products exceled due to its electrical and thermal performances but they also provide our customers with unbeaten value they can truly trust and rely on.”
EMC and Technica invite OEMs, ODMs and PCB fabricators to stop by Booth #202 at DesignCon 2018 to learn more about these and other high speed products offered by EMC.
