Hybrid Data for RDF 2000 and IEC TR 62380 Models
When Hybrid is selected in the General Data pane for an assembly, the following form is shown in the Hybrid pane if the RDF 2000 or IEC TR 62380 model is selected. You can select these two models only for the top-most assembly (system). You cannot mix either of these models with any other model.
The following table describes the data fields that appear in the Hybrid pane for the RDF 2000 or IEC TR 62380 model.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Diagonal, hybrid | The distance between the furthest pins in millimeters in the hybrid. |
Mounting substrate | The material used for the mounting substrate. Choices are: • Cu/Invar/Cu • Epoxy Glass • Flexible • PTFE Glass |
Substrate | The material used for the substrate. Choices are: • Alumina • Epoxy • Kovar |
Number of external connections | The number of external connections to the hybrid. |
Connection type | The type of connection. Choices are: • Double in line • Peripheral • Single in line |
Number of layers | The number of layers on the hybrid itself. |
Circuit surface area | The total usable area (cm2) for attaching circuits within the perimeter of the hybrid. |
Number of tracks | The total number of connections between components on the hybrid divided by two. |
Number of track crossovers | The number of times on the hybrid that track paths cross. Track crossings can interfere with the signal transmission, and can result in signal degradation. |
Track width | The distance across the tracks on the hybrid (in millimeters). Knowing the track width helps to determine the signal-carrying capacity of the track. Many different choices are available, including 0.56, 0.35, and more. |
Number of capacitors | The number of capacitors in use on the hybrid. |
Number of thick film resistors | The number of thick film resistors in use on the hybrid. |
Number of thin film resistors | The number of thin film resistors in use on the hybrid. |
Tolerance of resistors | The percentage by which the resistance value can alter from the specified value. Choices are: • 5% • 1% - 5% • < 1% |
Ambient temperature, hybrid | The ambient temperature in degrees C at which the hybrid functions properly. |
