LASER TRIMMING OF ANNULAR PASSIVE COMPONENTS

Improved systems and methods for laser trimming annular resistors printed on a circuit board are provided. An exemplary embodiment measures a resistance value for each annular resistor and sorts the annular resistors into one or more bins based on the measured resistance values and target resistance values associated with each annular resistor. A laser trim file may then be assigned to each bin based on a predictive trim formulation, where each laser trim file defines a set of configuration parameters for a laser drill to conform each annular resistor with their respective target value. The laser drill uses laser trim files to trim the annular resistors within each bin in accordance with a laser trim file assigned to that bin.
