Printed circuit board development timelines continue to compress, driven by faster design cycles, tighter launch windows and increasing product complexity. While EDA tools and automation have improved ...

I’ve experienced a lot of pain with a recent project and wanted to share some thoughts: I was doing the PCB layout on a time-critical project and needed component footprints and 3D step models. Many ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

SV Microwave emphasises that when connecting a coaxial connector to a PCB, the transition between different transmission line ...

One important innovation in the field of DC/DC power converters is the realization of higher and higher density designs. In the push for smaller-footprint solutions, designers are now focusing on ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.

This ebook by John Burkhert is a step-by-step guide on printed circuit board design with information suitable for beginners to graduate-level users. This series is for anyone who wants to design their ...

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 ...

Don't crush my dreams.
