Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are by far the most common method of assembling modern electronic circuits. Composed of a sandwich of insulating layer (or layers) and one or more copper conductor patter...
Designing a matching printed circuit board (PCB) can be a challenge for many electronics enthusiasts. To help ease the process, Circuit Cellar and Elektor editors compiled a list of tips for laying ou...
A simple and fast method to create PCBs without the exposure step. Instead of photo-resist, toner of a laserprinter is used as etch-resist. Material:•Laser printer (i use a HP laserjet 1010)...
During my PCB design experience of around seven years, I have learnt some very simple tips to better PCB design irrespective of the EDA tool used. Here are these: 1.Use existing libraries as much as ...
> These tips are not specific to using our CAD software, but instead provide an overview to help explain how to position the components on the board and how to wire them together. Placing Component...
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 ar...
Make important nodes accessibleIt will eventually happen that you are trying to figure out why something is not working and you want to measure a signal inside your PCB. Before designing the PCB, you ...
IPC’s 2012-2013 Analysis & Forecast for the North American PCB Industry report has just been published so I thought it would be a good idea to sit down with Sharon Starr, director of market resear...
The 2013 update to the study, On-Shoring in the Electronics Industry: Trends and Outlook for North America, published by IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries, confirms that companies ha...
New communications, networking and computing products continue to push the limits of bandwidth and transmission speeds in printed circuit boards. Ongoing miniaturization of electronic equipment and i...
North American electronics industry growth began to sag in December 2013 and that downward trend has continued through the first two months of 2014. U.S. new orders have remained flat since the Decemb...
I just read an interesting article by Jason Bowden over on Planet Analog. In this article -- A Bad Case of Cost 'Frusfusion' -- Jason recounts his experiences of project costs increasing due to ineffe...
Since its inception, Altium has grown from a simple PCB design offering to an all-embracing PCB, FPGA, and MCU embedded systems design environment. This includes the Altium Designer intelligent 3D PCB...
In a recent blog, I discussed the creation of a rather cunning prototyping board -- a dual-board combo, actually -- that is being designed by my chum Duane Benson for use with my Arduino Mega. I'm hap...
circuit board Box. Theo Kamecke started collecting vintage circuit boards in the 1980s. Old circuit boards were often handmade, and therefore unique and interesting. Inside of a circuit board box by ...
A new report from Research and Markets, titled “Global printed circuit board Industry 2012-2017: Trends, Profits and Forecast Analysis,” was recently released. In addition to giving an outlook on the ...
A new study conducted by Research and Markets takes a look at PCB, material and interconnect trends and the needs for electronics assemblies for high-speed applications. This study, titled “Opportunit...
PCB manufacturers are already able to produce circuit boards that meet the high demands of aerospace and defense companies. As the needs of these applications continue to get more advanced, printed ci...
Designing a printed circuit board for a new product or project you are working on is a lot more complicated than you might think. While it may see like all you need to do is use some sort of layout sy...
