In PCB design, design for manufacturing (DfM) is all about correcting mistakes after reviewing a PCB layout. We then devise corrective actions to fix those mistakes and improve procedures to make ...

Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...

As fascinating and challenging as the PCB design process can be, it is important to take all necessary precautions to ensure proper circuit operation, especially when dealing with high power PCBs. As ...

Virtually every electronic product is constructed with one or more printed-circuit boards (PCBs). The PCBs hold the ICs and other components and implement the interconnections between them. PCBs are ...

IPC standards for better PCB manufacturing and assembly. Advantages of IPC standards. The Institute for Printed Circuits (IPC) is as known as the Association Connecting Electronics Industry. It’s a ...

The common printed-circuit board (PCB) assembly and manufacturing line has long used conventional methods to produce assemblies for a variety of industries. Today, however, PCB prototype manufacturing ...

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, ...
