PCB design guidelines are created as benchmarks for circuit design engineers to meet the industry standards. Following these guidelines will ensure better manufacturability and robust product ...

Today’s electronic devices market demands miniaturized printed circuit boards (PCBs) with a multitude of high-speed functions integrated on a single board. This causes the designers to have traces ...

Consumer electronics, industrial, robotics, medical, and military applications all frequently use an AC/DC power supply, also referred to as AC/DC converter. An accurate design of the power supply ...

Manufacturing challenges below 8mil. When drill to trace spacing falls below 8 mil, the PCB moves into a far more complex manufacturing zone. Standard mechanical drilling is often insufficient, and ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

Siemens Mentor group now offers a free version of its HyperLynx design-rule-checking software for checking printed circuit boards using the latest high-speed serial interfaces. Mentor, a Siemens ...

Hardware designers are feeling the pressure from designs with continually accelerating memory or SERDES protocol links, while facing shrinking margins and unrelenting cost constraints. I believe we ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...

In the competitive world of electronics manufacturing, a profound truth often goes unrecognized until expensive lessons force ...

We seem to want our PCB design software to do everything these days, and it almost delivers. You can not only lay it all out, check electrical and design rules, and even spit out a bill of materials, ...
