Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...

This week Mentor Graphics released its Xpedition™ platform, which squarely takes aim at simplifying board layout and place and route. Long gone are the days when each component could be considered a ...

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Quilter, the first and only company to publicly demonstrate fully autonomous PCB layout through physics-driven AI, today announced $25 million in Series B funding led by ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of ...

Editor’s Note: This “How it Was” story is told by Aubrey Kagan, who is a professional engineer with a BSEE from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of the ...

It directly affects electrical performance, manufacturing yield, PCB layout complexity and long-term reliability. There are ...

There are certain design guidelines for PCBs that don’t make a lot of sense, and practices that seem excessive and unnecessary. Often these are motivated by the black magic that is RF transmission.

The plating type is usually immaterial to the footprint geometry but is often incorporated somewhere in the vendor part ...
