In UHDI PCB design, it is important to avoid designing at minimum capability and instead work within established production comfort zones to ensure consistent yield and reliability. Maintaining a 1:1 ...

Although PCBs are the basic foundational block for all electronic circuits in today’s generation, it is essential to follow several rules and guidelines while designing the circuits. These rules are ...

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 ...

There are certain design guidelines for PCBs that don’t make a lot of sense, and practices that seem excessive and unnecessary. Often these are motivated by the black magic that is RF transmission.

Capturing design intent is critical for AI to function as a true partner in PCB design. For the past several years, the discussion around artificial intelligence in PCB design has largely focused on ...

Mentor, a Siemens business, is into a wide range of software, from real-time operating systems (RTOSs) to chip-design tools. Also in the mix is printed-circuit-board (PCB) design software. Quite a bit ...

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 ...

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 ...

Recent studies and industry guidelines highlight advanced thermal simulation, material choices, and layout techniques as critical for managing heat in high-power printed circuit boards. Researchers ...

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, ...
