A few years ago, I wrote a few columns titled Making A Thing. These columns were a tutorial of sorts for several different 3D modeling programs. This column wasn’t meant to be a complete guide to ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

EMA Design Automation, a full-service provider and innovator of electronic design automation (EDA) solutions, recently launched its free eBook titled The Hitchhiker’s Guide to PCB Design, a resource ...

I was looking over the week’s posts on Hackaday – it’s part of my job after all – and this gem caught my eye: a post about how to make your own RP2040 development board from scratch. And I’ll admit ...

Three independent design processes – chip, package, and PCB – are typically required for the latest electronic products which utilize increasingly complex systems on chip (SoCs) and multiple chips in ...

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 ...

Is your PCB design team spending too much time waiting for IR-drop analysis results on the power delivery network (PDN), or trying to optimize the decoupling ...

Cloud tools like Altium 365 are gold for PCB design collaboration. They unify schematics, layouts, and BOMs in one hub. A 2025 Gartner report says cloud adoption speeds design cycles by 21%. No more ...
