Layer Stack Manager

Comprehensive tool for defining complex PCB layer stacks with materials, thicknesses, and impedance profiles.

Precise configuration of multilayer board structures with impedance control and technological parameters.

Layer Stack Manager

Purpose:
  • Define and manage the layer structure of the printed circuit board
  • Configure materials, thicknesses, and layer parameters

    • Capabilities and Features:
  • Define the number and types of layers (signal, power, ground)
  • Configure material thicknesses and dielectric characteristics
  • Calculate impedance for critical transmission lines
  • Support different manufacturing technologies (standard, HDI, flex-rigid)
  • Export layer structure data for manufacturing
    • Connections with Other Sections:
  • Interacts with PCB Editor to define available routing layers
  • Integrates with Signal Integrity Analyzer for line impedance calculation
  • Connected with Manufacturing Integration for transmitting data to the manufacturer
