Partnership Creates PCB Power Integrity Tool
Altium and Nimbic are working together to introduce Nimbic’s power integrity tool into its printed-circuit board (PCB) design tool, Altium Designer, to create a new power integrity solution, Altium PI...
Passive Components Aren’t Really So Passive (Part 3): PCBs
PCB flaws and errors that are usually hidden, or at least disguised, can introduce passive errors into IC performance. To understand how these errors occur, though, we must first examine the compositi...
Passive Components Aren’t Really So Passive (Part 2): Resistors
Resistors are called passive because they don’t have gain or control power like semiconductors or other active devices. But they can, and do, change the signal in unexpected ways because they have par...
Passive Components Aren’t Really So Passive (Part 1): Capacitors
Capacitors, resistors, inductors, connectors, and even the PCB are called passive because they don’t seem to consume power. But these apparently passive components can, and do, change the signal in un...
Plan Ahead For A Successful SoC-Based PCB Design
Addressing the key factors that can affect the ability to manufacture SoC-based PCBs efficiently early in the design process will ensure that fabrication, assembly, and testing will proceed with few p...
Today’s PCB Design Tools Improve
Anyone who has worked on a system design lately knows that creating a printed-circuit board (PCB) is no longer simple. Differential signals and multiple layers are the norm. RF is needed for Bluetooth...
Use Embedded Components To Improve PCB Performance And Reduce Size
Embedding discrete components within a PCB substrate is still considered cutting-edge, but advances in fabrication and EDA software have this technology on the rise. The complexity and density of ele...
Use Advanced PCB Technology To Produce 50% Smaller Product Designs
High-density interconnect (HDI) technology allows printed-circuit board (PCB) designers to increase routing density, reduce layer count, and improve the thermal and electrical characteristics of their...
