October Issue of Design007 Magazine: Partial HDI
October 8, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Partial HDI refers to the targeted use of HDI, usually on one section of one layer of the board. It offers designers an avenue for escape routing from BGAs with a pitch of .5 mm or less, when a mechanically drilled plated through-hole is impossible. With HDI relegated to one layer of the board, fabricators can avoid the expense of sequential lamination cycles.
In the October issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away. But you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

UHDI Fundamentals: ‘UHDI’ Bleeding-edge Entertainment Applications, Part 1
10/10/2024 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsAs soon as we cross below the 1-mil (0.001") line width threshold, we need to stop talking in terms of mils and ounces and begin talking in terms of microns. For reference, a 3-mil trace is 75 microns, so a 1-mil trace is 25 microns. In general terms, ultra high density interconnect refers to line and spaces on a printed circuit board that are sub-25 micron. In the context of this article, ultra high-definition interconnect (UHDI) refers to the technology and infrastructure used to transmit and connect ultra high-definition signals, typically 4K, 8K, or even higher resolutions, across devices like displays, cameras, servers, and processors.
Partial HDI: A Complete Solution
10/10/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWe recently spoke with IPC instructor Kris Moyer about partial HDI, a process that’s recently been growing in popularity. Partial HDI allows designers to escape route out from tight-pitch BGAs on one layer, where a mechanically drilled plated through-hole is not an option, while avoiding the complexity and expense of sequential lamination cycles. As Kris explains, this process doesn’t add much to the cost, and it’s fairly straightforward. But there are some competing signal integrity and fabrication requirements to contend with. We asked Kris to walk us through this process.
The Shaughnessy Report: Are You Partial to Partial HDI?
10/08/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportSometimes, a little technology is all you need. Star Trek’s Borg character only needs a funky eyepiece contraption to access all The Collective’s data, like an outer space Wi-Fi. Like the Borg’s eyepiece, we may only need a little bit of HDI in one corner of the board. We might only need partial HDI.

Cost-optimize Your PCB Design and Specifications
08/20/2024 | Erik Pedersen and Richard Koensgen, ICAPE GroupKnowledge is the key to identifying the small details that makes the big cost difference for your printed circuit board. There are many types of printed circuit boards and multiple choices between the development of schematic and BOM to PCB technology selection, electronic PCB design, mechanical and physical properties, and PCB specification.
