Built for engineers and hobbyists who want to move quickly from idea to fabrication, offering intuitive design tools, ...

Last month’s column talked about a simpler way to exchange stackups with manufacturing partners. This month, continuing the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Consumer electronics, industrial, robotics, medical, and military applications all frequently use an AC/DC power supply, also referred to as AC/DC converter. An accurate design of the power supply ...

It’s been a while, but I still visit the fundamentals of PCB design and troubleshooting. It is very effortless to generate unwanted signals that suddenly dance across the board. This acquired noise ...

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...

Layout for ICs at process geometries of 90 nm and below becomes a very dicey affair. Even at 180 nm, the number of design rules that must be enforced for an ASIC or system-on-a-chip to be ...

Process design kits (PDKs) play an essential in ensuring that silicon technology can proceed from one generation to the next in a manner that design tools can keep up with. No such infrastructure has ...

Like other EDA vendors, Siemens EDA has over the past few years been adding artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to its suite of EDA (electronic design automation) tools. At the ...

Today’s PCB design review is a board is from [Wificable]. iI’s a novel dual-SSD laptop adapter board! See, CPUs and chipsets often let you split wide PCIe links into multiple smaller width links. This ...
