Hi there,
I'm designing a 8 layer pcb with controlled impedances. Is the first time I have to tackle with a serious stack-up construction so I tried to deal with the PCB shop to help me on choosing the materials, thicknesses and traces geometry. They told me that since I'm the designer I have to do that job and send to them all my calculated stack-up and then if they can't do it they will apply corrections. Is like that how it usually works? Even if I'm paying them for a controlled impedance service?
Anyway, I assumed that and then I've downloaded their standard FR4 datasheet:
https://www.multi-circuit-boards.eu...ver-e-cu-104i_www.multi-circuit-boards.eu.pdf
Now, in the datasheet I see there are 2 different stantard thicknesses: one for (I guess) the final board, from 0.8mm to 3.2mm and then a second table with standard construction thicknesses from 75um to 1.2 mm. Well, now I wonder if do I have to choose such a set of cores and prepregs so the sum of all their thicknesses needs to match a standard final thickness. It's like, not only do I have to choose them to get the impedance I need but I only have to fit standard thicknes...
Please can someone clarify me how should I proceed?
Thanks
