Continued pressure for electronic devices that provide greater functionality in ever-smaller form-factors is not only providing the driving force behind developing smaller surface-mount components and ...

The future of design is here, and artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a powerful ally in the world of signal integrity. AI isn’t just about doing more with less; it’s about doing things ...

Like all new technologies, it took a while for engineers to accept and promote the PCB. In the 1960s, Zeneth used to brag about using point-to-point wiring (Figure 1). Now everything is done with a ...

In the competitive world of electronics manufacturing, a profound truth often goes unrecognized until expensive lessons force ...

PCB design tools have traditionally revolved around software packages users would download and install on their own PCs or workstations. A startup company called Flux is trying to change that ...

The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

Printed circuit board motors replace wire windings with copper traces and report about 7% higher efficiency, helping cut ...

Protel Autotrax is a PCB design tool first released for DOS in the mid-80s. Consider this a look at the history of PCB design software. I’m not recommending anyone actually use Protel Autotrax — ...

We have all seen Printed Circuit Board (PCB) antennas: those squiggly bits of traces on PCBs connected often to a Bluetooth, WiFi or other wireless communication chip. On modules like for the ESP8266 ...
