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 ...

For the last five months, I’ve been writing a series of posts describing how to build a PCB in every piece of software out there. Every post in this series takes a reference schematic and board, and ...

PCB design guidelines are created as benchmarks for circuit design engineers to meet the industry standards. Following these guidelines will ensure better manufacturability and robust product ...

As fascinating and challenging as the PCB design process can be, it is important to take all necessary precautions to ensure proper circuit operation, especially when dealing with high power PCBs. As ...

Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

Printed circuit board motors replace wire windings with copper traces and report about 7% higher efficiency, helping cut ...

Siemens Mentor group now offers a free version of its HyperLynx design-rule-checking software for checking printed circuit boards using the latest high-speed serial interfaces. Mentor, a Siemens ...

Skills shortages in engineering have long been recognised and are impactful to many organisations in the manufacturing space.

PCB design tools have traditionally revolved around software packages users would download and install on their own PCs or workstations. A startup company called Flux is trying to change that ...
