1. HIGH DENSITY DESIGN COMPONENT SOLUTIONS

2. Technology Challenges Market Drivers:  Make it smaller  Make it operate faster  Make it more efficient  Make it cheaper

3. Smaller Circuits Design: 1. Higher levels of circuit integration on silicon 2. Use of smaller foot print components + Components can be placed closer together - Closer the components get to each other, the more unwanted signal noise coupling occurs SMT 0603 – 0402  CERAMIC CHIP CAPACITORS  CHIP RESISTORS  FERRITE CHIP BEADS  INDUCTORS Technology Challenge

4. Faster Speed of Operation : 1. More done in shorter amount of time 2. Higher complexity of functions & display + Smaller SMT Components Can Function at Higher Speeds. - Distances between components and traces become significant factors in limiting performance and creates need for control of signal integrity. MHz 1200 800 600 400 Technology Challenge SMT 0603 – 0402  CERAMIC CHIP CAPACITORS  CHIP RESISTORS  FERRITE CHIP BEADS  INDUCTORS

5. Less Power Consumed : 1. More features using less power 2. Thinner barrier silicon IC chips = lower voltage operation = less energy needed. + SMT Passive Components can function at lower voltages - Lower voltage IC have reduced tolerance to spikes – transients. Higher level of transient and noise control is required = more passive components needed (capacitors and TVS devices) - Lower ESR (lower loss) components needed  CERAMIC CHIP CAPACITORS  MLV – VARISTORS  LOW ESR ALUMINUM & TANTALUM CAPACITORS Technology Challenge

6. Reduced Cost of Products: 1. Reduce size of PCB = less cost 2. Use SMT = faster production and reduced cost to build 3. Reduce component count by component integration 4. Use smaller size components (less raw material = less $$$) + Many SMT Passive Components cost less than leaded equivalents + Integrated (multiple element passives) reduce board space and place costs  CERAMIC CHIP CAPACITORS & ARRAYS  CHIP RESISTORS & ARRAYS  FERRITE CHIP BEADS / INDUCTORS  PASSIVE ARRAYS (IPC) Technology Challenge
