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.

Cadence Q1 Profits Rise 20% YOY
April 27, 2016 | Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Cadence Design Systems has announced results for the first quarter of 2016.
Cadence reported first quarter 2016 revenue of $448 million, compared to revenue of $411 million reported for the same period in 2015. On a GAAP basis, Cadence recognized net income of $51 million, or $0.17 per share on a diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $36 million, or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2015.
Using the non-GAAP measure defined below, net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $86 million, or $0.28 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $72 million, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2015.
“In the first quarter of 2016, we continued to innovate and execute to drive growth and deliver results for our customers. With customers enthusiastically embracing our Palladium Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform, Cadence achieved its best quarter ever for hardware revenue. Additionally, the release of the next-generation Virtuoso® platform sets a new standard for analog and mixed-signal design for broad applications including automotive and IoT,” said Lip-Bu Tan, president and chief executive officer. “Our recently announced pending acquisition of Rocketick Technologies will further strengthen our System Design Enablement strategy by delivering ultra-high-performance simulation to accelerate the development of complete end-product systems.”
“Strong execution at all levels of the company enabled Cadence to produce solid financial results in an environment that remains challenging,” said Geoff Ribar, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “During Q1, we repurchased 11.6 million shares for $240 million, reducing shares outstanding to 301 million at quarter-end.”

Effects of Advanced Packaging and Stackup Design
12/26/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamKris Moyer teaches several PCB design classes for IPC and Sacramento State, including advanced PCB design. His advanced design classes take on some really interesting topics, including the impact of a designer’s choice of advanced packaging upon the design of the layer stackup. Kris shares his thoughts on the relationship between packaging and stackup, what PCB designers need to know, and why he believes, “The rules we used to live by are no longer valid.”
Beyond Design: AI-driven Inverse Stackup Optimization
12/26/2024 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignArtificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we conceptualize and design everything from satellites to PCBs. Traditionally, stackup planning is a manual process that can be multifaceted and relies heavily on the designer's expertise. Despite having best practices and various field solvers to optimize parameters, stackup planning remains challenging for complex designs with advanced packaging, several layers, multiple power pours, and controlled impedance requirements.
