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 ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

We’ve often heard you should do everything twice. The first time is to learn what you need to do, and the second time is to do it right. We bet [Ian Carey] would agree after taking his old linear ...

Mentor Graphics has released a PCB power integrity tool. “It analysises power planes for DC drop, and it does AC analysis to see more decoupling capacitors are needed to reduce noise,” Mentor director ...

Hirose has expanded its hybrid FPC-to-board connector family to include a multi-power version that supports high power capacity in a compact, space-saving design. The BK11 multi-power hybrid ...

RAM Innovations, a R&D and manufacturing services provider and developer of embedded die packaging (EDP) solutions for electronics manufacturing, has been tasked with playing an essential role in a ...
