What methods can be used to increase PCB trace current-carrying capacity?

2026-10-27

When it comes to PCB design, the limitations imposed by PCB trace current-carrying capacity are critical. While the IPC‑2221 general design guidelines are a good starting point, PCB trace width calculators provide accurate values that can be used in board design.

The power supply is often the most easily overlooked part of circuit design. In a well‑designed product, the power supply should be a critical element, as it greatly affects the overall system performance and cost. The use of capacitors in power supply design is, in turn, the most frequently neglected aspect of the power supply itself.

Route traces according to the 50‑Ω impedance line width, preferably starting from the centre of the pad, keeping traces straight, and routing on the surface layer wherever possible. Use 45° corners or arc routing where turns are necessary, and it is recommended to make turns near capacitors or resistors.

PCB Design: Should You Choose Hatched Copper Pour or Solid Copper Pour?

2026-10-22

So‑called copper pouring means using the unused space on the PCB as a reference plane and filling it with solid copper – these copper areas are also called copper pours. The purpose of copper pouring is to reduce ground impedance and improve noise immunity; to reduce voltage drop and improve power efficiency; and, when connected to ground, to reduce loop area.
