Exceptional ease of use Now the Polar SB200a PCB Stackup and Construction Builder offers you a fast and professional solution to layer stackup creation.SB200a is both visually informative and easy to use whilst providing formal documentation for everyone involved in ensuring the correct materials are used in the build process. Save time PCB stackup documentation and control consumes an increasing amount of time for both interconnect designers and PCB front-end engineers. Layer build is shared using an easy to read standard format: .stk (Call it dot stack) For fabricators: Now you can document layer stackup rapidly and professionally. Share material types and key stackup related information both within your facility and with your clients. For interconnect engineers: At a glance viewing of layer stackup, now you can easily communicate and share information with your preferred fabricator. For CAD department managers: Are you managing multiple board vendors? Or do you simply want an error free transition from prototype to volume quantity? The SB200 bundles all the appropriate layer stack information in an easy to digest format. For EEs: Is PCB fabrication a "black art" to you? The SB200 helps you share your requirements with your fabricator. (Or buyer) Thus helping to ensure that you can work with your fabricator to ensure you receive boards that are both as economic as possible, whilst meeting your desired specifications. Now linking to the Si9000e pcb transmission line design system you can also extract loss / rlgc / s-parameters for your proposed stack. For buyers and brokers: As a buyer, have you ever received a batch of boards, which appeared OK, only to find that after population the production engineers come back to you complaining, that a layer is swapped or the trace impedance is incorrect because of a layer stack problem? Encouraging your engineering team to supply SB200 layer stack information files with the manufacturing data will minimise this type of unfortunate and costly mishap. Sharing stackup with the SB200 simplifies communication between the originating engineering team and the supplier(s). |

Clear
concise documentation Share and document stackup information in a clear and consistent format. Material usage and graphical stack up views can be printed or shared electronically in a format that is easily read by both interconnect designer and fabricator. |

| Your
materials: PCB fabricators can build a library of commonly used materials and materials that are normally available from stock along with cost or performance information. Choosing the professional edition of the SB200 allows you to direct import your materials library in text delimited form. This information may be shared with interconnect designers. This means that designers can at a glance choose materials on a basis of cost / lead time / or performance. |
