I've been designing / layout out a PCB for a client the past few weeks that is only 1.5" x 0.8" and has like 100 components on it. All 0.4mm pitch Wafer Level Chip Scale Pacakge (WL-CSP) parts with 4 mil traces, etc.
I should do something crazy like build a full M100 / T200 on a .75" x .75" board or something :) Ken On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Shaun M.
