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 ...

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 ...

Hardware designers are feeling the pressure from designs with continually accelerating memory or SERDES protocol links, while facing shrinking margins and unrelenting cost constraints. I believe we ...

Mentor, a Siemens business, is into a wide range of software, from real-time operating systems (RTOSs) to chip-design tools. Also in the mix is printed-circuit-board (PCB) design software. Quite a bit ...

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 ...

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 ...

We seem to want our PCB design software to do everything these days, and it almost delivers. You can not only lay it all out, check electrical and design rules, and even spit out a bill of materials, ...
