MACROOM, IRELAND – Shipco Circuits has brought a method for embedding discrete components inside PCBs to market.

Shipco says that over the past decade it has perfected the process of embedding electronic components directly into PCB innerlayers using patent pending-technology. The process of directly embedding components in PCBs allows shorter, near stub-free routing between terminations and chip pins in high-speed data systems, says the firm.

Applications for high-integrity and compact PCB layout are power supplies, high-frequency radar, data applications, computer vision and applications with stringent reliability and/or heat constraints, such as next-generation automotive.

In addition, Shipco now offers PCBs with capacitive power planes.
