PCB Design Best Practices: Six things to consider when transferring a PCB schematic to layout. All the examples in this article are developed using the NI Multisim design environment, however the same ...

I came across an article on PCB layout in Electronic Design magazine. It’s a pretty good article and I am glad to see the trade magazines realize we care as much about PCB layout as the bus-caching ...

Thanks to the relatively recent rise of affordable board production services, many of the people reading Hackaday are just now learning the ropes of PCB design. For those still producing the FR4 ...

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...

In 2026, every serious PCB buyer needs to maintain two qualified production sources for each core technology bucket that accounts for 60% of your business, and two quote-ready challengers to keep warm ...

Manufacturing challenges below 8mil. When drill to trace spacing falls below 8 mil, the PCB moves into a far more complex ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

It is a good day for design review! Today’s board is the MuBook, a Lattepanda Mu SoM (System-on-Module) carrier from [LtBrain], optimized for a NAS with 4 SATA and 2 NVMe ports. It is cheap to ...

As the world is becoming increasingly virtual and software is replacing hardware, electrical and electronics engineers are trying to ride the same bandwagon with their tool of choice, PCB (Printed ...

Antennas are sensitive to their surroundings. Thus, when there’s an antenna on the PCB, the layout for the design should take the requirements of the antenna into account, as this can make a huge ...
