I came across an article on PCB layout in Electronic Design magazine. It’s a pretty good article and I am glad to see the trade magazines realize we care as much about PCB layout as the bus-caching ...

PCB Design Best Practices: Six things to consider when transferring a PCB schematic to layout. All the examples in this article are developed using the NI Multisim design environment, however the same ...

Having a three-dimensional or 3D view of your PCB design is not a current or modern practice. In fact, it started long back with the emergence of PCB design tools. However, the requirement and ...

One of the big problems with doing PCB layout is finding a suitable footprint for the components you want to use. Most tools have some library although — of course — some are better than others. You ...

Semiconductor manufacturers have developed innovative production techniques that enable the integration of multiple components and a dc-dc converter IC die into a single module. Producing such a dc-dc ...

We see a lot of projects using Eagle for the schematics and PCB layout. There are a few that use Kicad, but we hear very little about other alternatives. Recently, [Limpkin] has been working with ...

Current printed circuit board (PCB) trends are leaning toward open hardware formats and control systems with PCB designs commonly accommodating existing development boards. These often employ daughter ...

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 ...

Some interesting information surfaced on the Chiphell forum. An insider shared photos of the PCB design for NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition, shedding some light on what ...

Mentor Graphics has announced TeamPCB, a design collaboration tool for PCB designs that are too large or complex for a single person or team to complete in the desired time, and for PCBs with multiple ...
