Augmented reality will take on a much greater role in the PCB design process as the underlying technology becomes increasingly accessible Although augmented reality (AR) was once associated with a ...

The traditional product design process revolves around adding features by placing integrated circuits and discrete components on the printed circuit board (PCB). We call the traditional process ...

Promoted content: PCBWay, a leading manufacturer and assembler of high-quality printed circuit boards (PCBs), is proud to announce its latest innovation - the KiCad plugin. This plugin is designed to ...

PCB design is a critical and complex process that involves multiple stages, from conceptualization and schematic creation to layout design and final manufacturing. Credit: adobe.stock.com As ...

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 ...

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...

Agentic AI, properly implemented, offers a path forward. But it will not emerge from larger models or more data alone. It requires a deliberate effort to capture and formalize design intent, to encode ...

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 ...

PCB design is not a simple exercise in which one size fits all. High-data-rate, high-frequency designs provide very little “wiggle” room in terms of performance constraints. If you have a failed ...

Design done, PCB laid-out and components are sourced, but the biggest challenge is yet to come getting it manufactured. David Marrakchi describes the pitfalls to avoid You just completed your last ...
