Thank you for all the advanced tips, they have huge impact on pcb designers. Really appreciated.

[@leeslevin7602]

Brilliant, thank you. Looking forward to the video on BGA's.

[@sajibislam1677]

Excellent explanation!

[@electgpl]

Excellent! Thanks!

[@lytvynskyy]

What about covering vias? How reliability differ in tented vs not tented vias?

[@Zachariah-Peterson]

Hi Lyubomyr, I'm working on an article now about this subject. I'll post the link once it's published.

[@victordatdo9880]

If you have time please help me one question about "Power handling in Power divider" Thank you

[@Zachariah-Peterson]

Please find me on linked in and send me your question

[@stanleya.4042]

D is finished hole or drilled hole?

[@Zachariah-Peterson]

Usually drilled hole diameter if you ask a manufacturer. Be careful because some design guides do not distinguish between drilled or finished hole size. As you can see I'm guitly of that sometimes!

[@azizzkkk]

What do you mean like most people work in the imperial system 🙄

explaining speed is very fast speed.
