The average age of PCB fabrication workers continues to climb. Industry surveys now peg it somewhere north of 50 years old, and the pipeline of replacements remains dangerously thin. We’re not just ...

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 ...

Everyone has their favorite process for PCB fabrication, as long as you’re a happy hacker I don’t think it really matters. But in this post I thought it might be interesting to describe my personal ...

PCB design is not a simple exercise in which one size fits all. High-data-rate, high-frequency designs provide very little “wiggle” room in terms of performance constraints. If you have a failed ...

Once a circuit design is complete and the PCB has been laid out, the complex process of transferring all the design data to manufacturing begins. The data communicate not only the physical positions ...

It’s often not easy or smooth to complete an electronic hardware project for many makers on their own, completing an electronic hardware project involves too many techniques, processes and knowledge, ...

Digi-Key is to offer what it calls “professional-class” PCB design tools in collaboration with EDA company Mentor Graphics. The three new tools are Designer Layout, a schematic capture tool called ...

Bannockburn, IL. IPC has released IPC-9121, Troubleshooting PCB Fabrication Processes, an essential resource for anyone involved in manufacturing or purchasing printed-circuit boards (PCBs). This new ...

Knowledge of design and fabrication of PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) will not only enhance the job opportunities of students but also bestow young technocrats with the potential to become enterprising ...
