The technology for integrating passive circuit elements in PWBs has been around for a number of years, achieving limited market penetration. While active semiconductor devices continue their relentless march towards higher levels of integration with ICs of ever-increasing functionality and complexity, passive devices such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors have fallen behind with regards to integration.
Driven by time-to-market and design reuse requirements, engineers have become accustomed to using inexpensive and easily replaceable discrete passive components to quickly fine tune their circuits. It has led to an increasing proportion of passive ...
