As data rates soar into the multi-gigabit range, high-speed digital (HSD) PCB design is no longer just about connecting the ...

Protel Autotrax is a PCB design tool first released for DOS in the mid-80s. Consider this a look at the history of PCB design software. I’m not recommending anyone actually use Protel Autotrax ...

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to PCB Design, a play off the original Douglas Adams novel, offers an easy-to-understand dive into the PCB design and manufacturing process. The eBook takes the reader on ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC.

Use of SMT components as small as 0201 and 01005 in consumer products offers a major competitive advantage—they allow for significant design miniaturization.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of ...

KiCad handled the PCB CAD design but the prototype came from cutting the PCB on a CNC machine instead of having it fabricated and shipped; a much cheaper and faster option for those with access to ...

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 ...

So, proper design of traces with a uniform copper surface is highly recommended in the 5G-ready PCBs. Even copper planes should be smooth and symmetrical throughout the PCB stack-up to avoid any ...

As a SaaS offering, the Motor CAD platform enables manufacturers to advance from motor design to production in record time.
