High Speed Digital

Isola offers a wide range of High-speed Digital (HSD) materials that deliver superior performance and CAF resistance. These low-loss materials are targeted for applications that require high reliability and signal integrity. Isola also offers halogen-free HSD materials for green electronics.

A successful high-speed digital product is reliant upon the PCB material selected. Several factors, such as the maximum data rate, the length of the high-speed digital channel, as well as thermal and processing considerations should be taken into account when choosing a material.

Technical Paper
Stack-up and routing optimization by understanding micro-scale PCB effects

This paper presents an experimental, numerical, and analytical investigation of the important role that micro-scale PCB effects play in defining the characteristic impedance of interconnects, the associated attenuation and phase constant, and the appearance of resonances in the insertion and return loss.
