ICD Stackup Planner 1.0

ICD Stackup Planner is a specialized PCB design tool for creating, analyzing, and validating multilayer stackups—especially for high‑speed digital and RF designs. It helps engineers achieve first‑time‑right controlled impedance by guiding material selection, layer construction, and trace geometry before layout and routing.

Key capabilities:

• Impedance planning for single‑ended and differential routes across microstrip, stripline, and dual‑stripline geometries
• Built‑in solver that accounts for copper thickness and plating, soldermask, surface roughness, and dielectric properties
• Material libraries with Dk/Df data (frequency‑aware), supporting FR‑4 variants and performance laminates
• What‑if analysis to tune width and spacing to meet impedance targets, with quick trade‑off exploration
• Manufacturability checks for core/prepreg combinations, resin content, and feasible stack builds
• Estimates for propagation delay, loss, and potential crosstalk to aid signal‑integrity planning
• Clear documentation output for fabrication notes, including stackup tables, impedance specs, and material callouts; export options for common ECAD workflows

By moving impedance and stackup decisions to the front of the design process, ICD Stackup Planner reduces redesign cycles, aligns expectations with fabricators, and improves the reliability and performance of high‑speed PCB projects.
