Design Guide NEU Since electronica 2014 there is the new WIRELAID Design Guide 1.2 new: Nomenclature new: Design notes for use of Wirelaid layers new: Cost comparison new: Current feeding english / french versions follows www.we-online.de Seite 10
Design Guide: Nomenclature of WIRELAID Layer stack up MLn Wire@a@b...@n n = Number of layers a, b, c : Layers with wires Outer Layer Inner Layer Example shows a multilayer with 6 layers and wires under layer 1 and 6 Example shows a multilayer with 6 layers and wires under layer 2 and 5 www.we-online.de Seite 11
Design Guide: Outer layer? Inner layer? Consideration 1: More complex logic devices use SMD components like controllers or memories with small pitches. To keep the SMD layers free for fine line structures, the wires are applied in the inner layers. Requirements concerning EMC and multiple power supplies, using the innerlayers, can be implemented with standard cores and copper thicknesses. The number of layers is, compared with the normal multilayer setup, almost equal, have a look at the stackup ML6 Wire@2@5: www.we-online.de Seite 12
Design Guide: Outer layer? Inner layer? Consideration 2: When cooling thru direct contact to the housing plays a roll or power semiconductors like IGBTs or D²PACs are placed directly to the outer layer, then, a Wirelaid layer with welded wire will be used. Look at the stackup ML6 Wire@1@6.: This should be the aim for more simple logic devices as well. Furthermore many vias/thru holes can be saved and thereby costs, when the power components will be placed directly onto the welding pad from Wirelaid For more simple devices it is possible to reduce the number of layers www.we-online.de Seite 13

Cost comparison: conventional solution Initial situation A multilayer PCB with 6 layers at 105 micron copper, takes the high current part. The logic is placed at a separate fine line module, connected by PCB connectors to the main board New solution with WIRELAID Due to the possibility of fine line structures together at the assembly layers, the logic module can be completely integrated. All kind of connection technologies, as well as every other assembly costs for the module integration, can be cancelled. www.we-online.de Seite 16
Cost comparison 1: PCB level 6-layer: inner 210µm / outer 70µm WIRELAID Saving from 2 layers Number of wires per manufacturing panel up to equal costs www.we-online.de Seite 17
Cost comparison 2: System level Conventional solution New solution Power PCB ML6, 105µm, logic module & connectors WIRELAID PCB ML6 Wire@1 Mainboard Logic module Connectors Initials assembly Stencils AOI test Testcosts Set up costs per order Stock and logistics In practice:1/2 of the costs. Impressing as well is the high potential of savings at the Initials, which, seen absolutely, are decisive especially at lower volumes. www.we-online.de Seite 18
