Active Multilayer

HofmannAML.jpg

Active Multilayer (AML) is a patent pending technique developed by Hofmann Leiterplatten, Regensburg, Germany. It's about assembling active and passive device upon inner layers of a multilayer PCB.

The following advantages can be seen:

  • protection against environmental impacts
  • EMC protection
  • protection against pressure-, shock-, vibration, touch
  • replaces a housing
  • keeps it small
  • protection against piracy


TARGET 3001! offers the configuring of the layer set according to the AML requirements on button click.

Press the button "fourfold multilayer (AML)". Compared to the normally required inner copper layers 10 and 15, see dots of a multilayer you'll get two additional positioning layers Layer 17: Position inside top and Layer 12: Position inside bottom, see arrows. Here you define the position of device being assembled upon the inner layers.
