In this episode, John Johnson wraps up this series with some frequently asked engineering questions about UHDI adoption and gives some tips on when it's the right time to look at UHDI as a manufacturing solution.

So, what's in the future for UHDI? John Johnson imagines how UHDI technologies will change PCBs, fabrication, and the tools available to OEM designers.

Possibly the most life-critical application sector is medical devices. John Johnson explains how UHDI can not only improve reliability, but deliver multiple new sets of functionality to the medical instrumentation field.

High reliability and sustainability are of increasing importance in the products we design and manufacture. How does Ultra High Definition Interconnect deliver on these key design constraints?

Materials are the surface upon which all the interconnects are placed. If the material specification cannot accommodate UHDI, the boards will not be successful. John Johnson explains the implications of material choices for UHDI.

Solder mask: So easy to just gloss over this step but when UHDI is involved, you'd best not. John Johnson explains the crucial adjustments to be made even with solder mask in order to open up UHDI's full potential.

Continuing our discussion with ASC's John Johnson, we explore the pluses and minuses of copper plating microvias from the perspective of the fabricator and the designer.

Nolan Johnson and ASC's John Johnson explore the implications of UHDI on via from a designer's perspective. The metallurgy, chemistry, mechanics, and stackup reduction mean that designers have fewer constraints with UHDI.

John Johnson continues this series, outlining UHDI's contributions to reduced SWaP—size, weight and power—considerations.

American Standard Circuits' John Johnson details how the new capabilities in UHDI can fundamentally change what it means to design for manufacturability.

John Johnson leads the way straight into UHDI's benefits to RF style design.

To launch this series, ASC's Director of Quality John Johnson introduces us to ultra-high-density interconnect. Johnson sets the agenda for further discussion by sharing practical reasons why UHDI could be key to your next design challenge, and why both designers and the manufacturing chain are excited by UHDI's potential.
