01005: SIZE DOES MATTER

摘要

I was approached by the vice president of R&D from a high-tech company that develops a wearable mobile accessory. "This is a product with great potential that could be in any household in the world," he said with enthusiasm. "It's a rigid-flex circuit board with a wide range of applications." Then he laid before me his great dilemma. "The problem is that the PCB is extremely dense, and we'll be obliged to relinquish several important functions since there's simply not enough space on the PCB." I asked him about the sizes of the passive components used and, after receiving the reply, realized we might have the possibility to fulfill his dream.
