EpecDFx™ In Action.
Typical example of a subtle, yet critical engineering design problem discovered before fabrication; EpecDFx™ and Epec's engineering team detects and develops "must-fix" through "optimal" solutions.
EpecDFx™ issue shows:
- Isolated connection caused by oversized plane clearance not caught by CAD system resulting in netlist violation.
- Reduced thermal connection due to proximity to large split plane line.
Impact:
- Electrical integrity of the design is invalid, resulting in scrapped board.
- Compromised thermal connection results in poor solder-ability to connector pin.
"Critical/Must Fix"
- Suggestion: Reduce plane clearances for holes to allow connection.
- Result: Netlist integrity is restored.
"Better"
- Suggestion: Reduce plane clearances for holes to allow connection.
- Result: Netlist integrity is restored.
"Best"
- Suggestion: Reduce plane clearances for holes to allow connection. Plus rotate thermal relief 45 degrees and reduce plane clearance line.
- Result: Netlist integrity is restored, and thermal properties are maximized.
