Although PCBs are the basic foundational block for all electronic circuits in today’s generation, it is essential to follow several rules and guidelines while designing the circuits. These rules are ...

PCB design guidelines are created as benchmarks for circuit design engineers to meet the industry standards. Following these guidelines will ensure better manufacturability and robust product ...

Today’s electronic devices market demands miniaturized printed circuit boards (PCBs) with a multitude of high-speed functions integrated on a single board. This causes the designers to have traces ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

Siemens Mentor group now offers a free version of its HyperLynx design-rule-checking software for checking printed circuit boards using the latest high-speed serial interfaces. Mentor, a Siemens ...

This white paper is designed to guide you through the intricacies of rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) design. In today’s electronics industry, there has never been more demand for compact, ...

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 ...

A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

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 ...
