Electronic design trends include the use of open-source hardware designs and the open-source schematic and PCB layouts that accompany them. This growing trend is explained by the ease with which ...

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 ...

Trace, an AI software company automating the printed circuit board (PCB) design workflow, has launched out of stealth and is ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

Several browser-based PCB design tools have emerged in the past couple of years, yet the vast majority of designers are still using the same desktop applications that have dominated the EDA industry ...

How design reuse and IP management drive engineering excellence. In today’s electronics industry, product complexity ...

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 ...

Most of us learned to design circuits with schematics. But if you get to a certain level of complexity, schematics are a pain. Modern designers — especially for digital circuits — prefer to use some ...
