Knowing which PCB specification changes require new tooling and which do not can help designers and buyers reduce nonrecurring engineering costs while avoiding unnecessary delays. NRE (nonrecurring ...

One of the most common assumptions PCB designers make when investigating ultra HDI (UHDI) technology is that every layer must be built with ultra-fine geometries using semi-additive processing (SAP) ...

Everyone has their favorite process for PCB fabrication, as long as you’re a happy hacker I don’t think it really matters. But in this post I thought it might be interesting to describe my personal ...

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 ...

PCB design is not a simple exercise in which one size fits all. High-data-rate, high-frequency designs provide very little “wiggle” room in terms of performance constraints. If you have a failed ...

Every PCB designer has experienced it. A design progresses through schematic capture and layout only to reveal problems during verification, simulation, design review, or manufacturing preparation. A ...

This is the first of several articles in the PCB Design Best Practices series, which discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific ...

Have you ever found yourself staring at a tangle of wires, wishing there was an easier way to bring your electronics project to life? If you’ve dabbled in DIY electronics, you know that creating ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...
