In PCB design, design for manufacturing (DfM) is all about correcting mistakes after reviewing a PCB layout. We then devise corrective actions to fix those mistakes and improve procedures to make ...

From the circuit diagram developed, it is possible to perform simulations and design the PCB by exporting Gerber/drill files. No matter what the design, engineers need to know precisely how the ...

KiCad 6.0 open-source EDA software for schematic capture and PCB layout adds hundreds of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. A refreshed user interface makes the visual design language, hotkeys ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.

This ebook by John Burkhert is a step-by-step guide on printed circuit board design with information suitable for beginners to graduate-level users. This series is for anyone who wants to design their ...

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 ...

Those of us hardware types that spend a lot of time designing PCBs will often look at other peoples’ designs with interest, and in some cases, considerable admiration. Some of their boards just look ...

SMD antennas and FPC antennas have different implications for PCB design. Design tips for FPC antennas. This article explores the design and integration implications for flexible-printed-circuit (FPC) ...

With the low-cost PCB fabrication services available to hackers and makers these days, we’ll admit that making your own boards at home doesn’t hold quite the appeal that it did in the past. But even ...

OKI Circuit Technology has announced a new printed circuit board (PCB) design that can boost component heat dissipation by up to 55x. The Japanese firm has been developing and manufacturing PCBs for ...
