Ensuring electromagnetic (EMI) resistance and EMC compliance is paramount in designing PCBs, and adherence to standards is critical in multiple applications. EMI/EMC regulations govern the emission and susceptibility of electromagnetic radiation from electronic devices, ensuring that they operate harmoniously in their intended environments without causing interference with other devices.

Design for manufacturing (DFM) aims to create PCB designs that are functional, reliable, and testable while also meeting criteria that ensure the manufacturing house can reliably produce them at minimized costs. Designers can achieve DFM by understanding the basic steps involved in manufacturing PCBs, understanding key cost drivers, and following best-practice approaches across all phases of design.

From medical devices to fighter jets to the smartphones that have become another appendage for most, there is virtually no person who has been untouched by the need for microelectronics.

High frequency (HF) and radio frequency (RF) are fundamental in multiple domains, such as aerospace, defense, and medicine, and are often encountered in communication systems, radar devices, and imaging equipment. However, the high frequencies usually involve challenges that PCB designers would not typically face in non-HF designs, such as the need for impedance matching, the skin effect, crosstalk, EMI issues, and reflections.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the vital backbone of practically all modern electronic devices, as they facilitate the production of intricate yet reliable designs in large quantities.

The annual event will feature unprecedented exclusive discounts on printed circuit boards, increasing access to the rapidly expanding industry.

Welcome to the fascinating world of PCB design, where the interplay of various elements shapes the heart of modern electronics. Today, let’s have a chat about something crucial but often underrated – the impact of vias, sequential lamination, and plating on signal integrity.

The relationship between designers and fabricators plays a crucial role in the success of any project. However, there has been an ongoing discussion about the disconnect between these two groups and the benefits of having designers who understand the intricacies of fabrication facilities.

In the world of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing, the landscape is constantly evolving. With applications spanning across various industries, including Medical, Aerospace, Military, and more, designers and design engineers need to stay ahead of the curve.
