Software To Use for Stimulating Circuits

Printed circuit board assembly/design is complex. From initial design to beta testing to full production, many aspects of these boards are scrutinized and modified several times. To aid PCB designers in keeping pace with the ongoing developments in the world of...

PCB Tombstoning: What Is It and How It Affects Your Design

PCB assembly is a delicate art. Throughout the board manufacturing and assembly processes, things can go wrong. Sometimes it’s something as simple as a little cross-chatter between paths. Other times it’s more severe issues like component burnout. All of...

Design for Manufacturing: Everything You Need to Know

Building the average Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is complicated in the best of times. Ensuring an ideal mix of parts, materials, and placements is a skill that requires focus and knowledge. All too often, mistakes get made along the way and missed until it is too...

Common Causes of Degradation of Signal Integrity in PCBs

Signal distortion is a fact of life when it comes to circuitry. No matter how good the printed circuit board assembly, there are no perfect boards out there that can transmit signals to a T. All we can do is design our boards to the best of our skills with signal...
