The ILFA PCB Handbook contains 797 pages on the various problems met in the design process in PCB engineering and includes solution options. Precise detailed information makes the handbook invaluable in ensuring that PCB design complies with specifications and is state-of-the-art in microelectronic complexity.
The handbook deals with the following subjects.

• CAD/CAM specifications
• CAD/CAM specifications (commentaries)
• Publications
• Multilayer designs

With concise explanations, comprehensive tables, clear graphics, cross sections and screenshots the handbook is a great reference on all important aspects of the subject and a basis for decision-making in difficult borderline cases.

The book includes concrete assistance on the following subjects.
