XP can successfully serve users for more than ten years

XP can successfully serve users for more than ten years
A few years ago, Microsoft had planned to retired Windows XP, but due to the popularity of this operating system, and the dependence of many PCs and laptops on this system, and many users operating on subsequent versions of Windows XP such as Vista. The lack of interest in the system has caused XP's retirement date to be postponed again and again, forcing Microsoft to continue to provide services for XP. But in the end, more than a decade after XP was released, Microsoft decided to stop supporting XP. Windows XP has witnessed the success of desktop operating systems as the cloud computing and mobile operating tradition continues to hit the PC market.
The success of Windows XP has the following factors:
1. Suitable for business users
Windows XP brings tremendous benefits to businesses. The operating system has a good balance between functionality and increased availability for users. For more than a decade, XP has been used and loved by business users. From a design and functional perspective, XP has always put business use first.
2. The same work and home experience
A key factor for the success of Windows XP is that it can bring the same experience to users whether it is work or home. People use XP in the office. When they return home and continue using the home version, they will find that their experience is exactly the same. This contributes to the use of XP and sales of PCs, and has made XP the top spot in popularity.
3. Vendors value Windows XP
The reason why PC users can fully enjoy some of the outstanding features XP has, because many computer manufacturers recognize the true value of this operating system. PC makers have always bundled computers with XP, and after Vista's launch, computer makers have chosen XP again due to the lack of this operating system. Although many vendors have pre-installed a lot of useless third-party software in XP, they also produced a lot of devices that can take full advantage of this operating system. This provides users and XP with many benefits.
4. Important Service Packs Version Upgrade
Security has always been the weakness of Windows XP. However, with the release of several versions of Microsoft's upgrade, the XP experience is getting better and better. In fact, after Service Packs 2, this operating system is almost the best choice for all computer buyers. Service Packs 3 just added some enhancements to make the system run better. Windows XP will not be as popular as it is today without service packs.
5. Suitable for different computing devices
One of the great things about Windows XP is that it can run on different types of devices. Although XP is designed for desktops and laptops, it is equally suitable for netbooks, older tablets, and even handheld devices. For device manufacturers, Windwos XP has real application flexibility.
6. Suitable for different markets

Windows XP not only applies to different devices, but also applies to different markets. Whether in emerging regions or developed countries, XP can satisfy consumers with different needs. Few operating systems can do this, but XP succeeded. The popularity of XP throughout the world illustrates this point.
7. Suitable for different purposes
The interesting thing about Windows XP is that it can be applied to many non-traditional products. For example, Windows XP still operates on many ATM machines around the world and is the standard for cash transactions. Windows XP is the first mainstream operating system that truly spans industry and market barriers, and it has had an impact in many areas.
8. Global Developer Support for Windows XP
Software is the key to Windows XP's success over the years. With more and more users choosing XP, developers are also interested in this operating system. This means that all applications support this platform. Consumers and business users all need XP to finish work, play games or do anything else. All of these applications make Windows XP a must.
9.Windows Vista's defeat
Windows Vista created the success of Windows XP. As a successor to Windows XP, Windows Vista has poor security, annoying applications such as user account control, and is not compatible with older models like XP, which has led people to re-choose XP.
10. The right time to get the right operating system
Windows XP brings millions, even billions, of users into computing. Windows 95 and Windows 98 make personal computing popular, and XP makes it depend on every aspect of the user's life. Windows XP is also an operating system that brings computing to market. If Windows 95 makes computing popular, Windows XP makes computing a necessity for everyone's life.

6 Layer PCB - stackup & prototype & price & manufacturing


What is 6 Layer PCB?


6 layer PCB Board is, in general, a 4 Layer PCB Board with 2 extra signal layers added between the planes. The 6-layer PCB classic stackup includes 4 routing layers (2 outer layers + 2 internal layers) and 2 internal planes (one for ground and the other for power). This enhances the EMI dramatically by offering 2 buried layers for high-speed signals and 2 surface layers for routing low-speed signals. The signal layers should be closed to the adjacent planes.


6 Layer PCB Prototype Fabrication China Manufacturer


Jinghongyi PCB has been committed to the production of multi-layer PCB and Prototype PCB for nearly 10 years. The largest number of multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards for customers are 4-layer, 6-layer, 8-layer, 10 layer, 12 Layer PCB and above. In order to ensure the quality of PCB products, we constantly improve and upgrade the production process. PCB surface treatment technology has hot air leveling(HASL), OSP, electroless nickel, immersion gold, immersion silver, immersion tin and so on.

The Printed Circuit Board is basically composed of the pad, via, solder mask layer, silkscreen layer, copper wire, and other parts. Among them, solder mask refers to the part covered by ink on PCB. Because most PCB uses green ink, the green ink part that can be seen is solder mask. The role of the solder mask in controlling the reflow welding process is very important. In addition to green ink, the welding layer can According to the different needs of customers, and can also be customized in a variety of colors, such as green, blue, black, red, white, yellow, purple. Of course, the price will vary with the color of the solder mask. Green oil is the one with low price and stable quality, which is also the reason why green oil is most used. The price of black oil, red oil, and white oil is almost the same, slightly more expensive than green oil, and the price of rare inks such as yellow and violet oil is the highest. In addition to the color of the solder resist ink, there are also matte and bright, matte ink color.

6 Layer PCB Stackup and Design

What is PCB stack UP?

PCB Stack up refers to the arrangement of copper and insulation layers that make up PCB before the layout design of circuit board. Although stacking allows you to get more circuits on a single board through various PCB layers, the structure of PCB stacking design has many other advantages:

  • The PCB layer stack can help you minimize circuit noise and radiation and reduce impedance and crosstalk problems in high-speed PCB layouts.


  • A good stacked PCB stack can also help you balance the need for low-cost, efficient manufacturing methods and focus on signal integrity issues.


  • Proper PCB stacking can enhance the electromagnetic compatibility of your design.


  • For PCB-based applications, stacked PCB configurations are usually good for you.



Why do PCBs stack up?


The irreversible development of modern electronic products has increasingly pushed PCB towards such needs as miniaturization, light weight, high speed, better functionality and reliability, and longer life, which has led to the popularity of multi-layer PCB. Two or more Single Sided PCB and/or Double Sided PCB are stacked together by a combination of semi-solid adhesives called "prepregs" to form multilayer PCBs through reliable predefined interconnections between them. There are three or more conductive layers in a Multilayer PCB , two of which are outside, and one is synthesized in an insulating board. With the increasing complexity and density of PCB, some problems may arise, such as noise.


One of the most important factors to determine the performance of product electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is to plan the optimal multi-layer stack up. The carefully designed cascade can minimize radiation and prevent the circuit from being disturbed by external noise sources. Good stacked PCB substrates can also reduce signal crosstalk and impedance mismatch. However, poorer stacking may increase EMI radiation, because impedance mismatch will lead to reflection and ringing in the system, which will greatly reduce the performance and reliability of the product. Then, this article will focus on the layer stack definition, design rules and basic considerations.

Most six-layer PCB consist of four signal routing layers and two planes. From an EMC perspective, a 6-layer Printed circuit board is usually better than a 4 Layer PCB board.

One stack-up NOT to use on a six-layer PCB board is the one shown in Figure 1.  The planes provide no shielding for the signal layers, and two of the signal layers (1 and 6) are not adjacent to a plane.  The only time this arrangement works even moderately well is if all the high frequency signals are routed on layers 2 and 5 and only very low frequency signals, or better yet no signals at all (just mounting pads), are routed on layers 1 and 6.  If used, any unused area on layers 1 and 6 should be provided with "ground fill" and tied into the primary ground plane, with vias, at as many locations as possible.

One of the stackup methods of 6-layer PCB

This configuration satisfies only one of our original objectives. 

With six layers available the principle of providing two buried layers for high-speed signals is easily implemented as shown in Fig. 2.  This configuration also provides two surface layers for routing low speed signals.

Less common 6 layer PCB stackup

Fig. 2  Less common 6 layer PCB stackup


This is a probably the most common 6 layer PCB stack-up and can be very effective in controlling emissions, if done correctly.  This configuration satisfies objectives 1, 2, & 4 but not objectives 3 & 5.  Its main drawback is the separation of the power and ground planes.  Due to this separation there is no significant interplane capacitance between power and ground  Therefore, the decoupling must be designed very carefully to account for this fact.

Not nearly as common, but a good performing stack-up for a six-layer PCB is shown in Fig. 2.

H1 indicates the horizontal routing layer for signal 1, and V1 indicates the vertical routing layer for signal 1.  H2 and V2 represent the same for signal 2.  This configuration has the advantage that orthogonal routed signals always reference the same plane. The disadvantage is that the signals on layer one and six are not shielded.  Therefore the signal layers should be placed very close to their adjacent planes, and the desired board thickness made up by the use of a thicker center core.  Typical spacing for a 0.060" thick board might be 0.005"/0.005"/0.040"/0.005"/0.005".  This configuration satisfies objectives 1 and 2, but not 3, 4, or 5. 

Another excellent performing six-layer PCB board stackup is shown in Fig. 4. It provides two buried signal layers and adjacent power and ground planes and satisfies all five objectives.  The big disadvantage, however, is that it only has two routing layers -- so it is not often used.

It is easier to achieve good EMC performance with a six-layer circuit board  than with a four-layer circuit board.  We also have the advantage of four signal routing layers instead of being limited to just two.  As was the case for 4 layer PCB boards, it is possible to satisfy four of our five objectives with a six-layer PCB.  All five objectives can be satisfied if we limit ourselves to only two signal routing layers.  The configurations of Figures 2, 3, and 4 all can all be made to perform very well from an EMC point of view.
