Everyone has their favorite process for PCB fabrication, as long as you’re a happy hacker I don’t think it really matters. But in this post I thought it might be interesting to describe my personal ...

One of [CNLohr]’s bigger claims to fame is his process for making glass PCBs. They’re pretty much identical to regular, fiberglass-based PCBs, but [CNLohr] is building circuits on microscope slides.

Understanding the difference between process capability and design intent enables engineers to maximize UHDI performance while improving manufacturability and yield. Ultra high-density interconnect ...

Speaking of which, there were nearly a dozen mainstream EDA companies back then, including VeriBest, DDE, PADS, Intercept Technology, Protel and Accel, in addition to the bigger players Mentor ...

This week kicks off a five-session complimentary webinar series featuring experienced engineers from DesignCon’s conference program, including experts from Keysight Technologies, Intel, Picotest, NXP, ...

Software automation in PCB assembly. Advantages and disadvantages of software automation in PCB assembly. The PCB assembly (PCBA) process is becoming more complex with evolving market trends such as ...

There is no one best fab house. It depends what you need and the kind of boards you are making. For a one-off hobby or test project, maybe OSH Park is best. For high-tech boards, Sierra Proto Express ...

For years, the PCB manufacturing industry has needed a robust real-time, comprehensive shop-floor communication standard that would include detailed, bidirectional, machine-to-machine communication, ...

Why today’s high-speed, high-frequency designs have very little “wiggle room” within them relative to laminate properties. Why the end-product’s application and performance determine the most critical ...
