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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

From the circuit diagram developed, it is possible to perform simulations and design the PCB by exporting Gerber/drill files. No matter what the design, engineers need to know precisely how the ...

What is software defined radio (SDR) and how does it benefit modern communications and RF applications? RF/microwave PCB design for Radar and SDRs. Challenges of SDR PCB design and ways to overcome ...

When you first start out in the PCB layout game and know just enough to be dangerous, you simply plop down a connector, run a trace or two, and call it a hack. As you learn more about the finer points ...

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 ...

Printed circuit board (PCB) design is a complex endeavor, but it’s more manageable when you have access to the right tools. Numerous companies now offer PCB design tools that allow collaboration ...

What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...
