Printed Circuit Board design is a complete vertical in the electronics industry. Whether a fresh graduate or a mid-level experienced designer, we all get better in PCB design by following rules and ...

Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...

Printed circuit boards bring order and professionalism to electronics design. But high voltage and heavy currents introduce risks. This article highlights essential hints for safe PCB layout in ...

In this product-how to, ANSYS’ Steve Pytel explains how to use the ANSYS SIwave-DC simulation tool to predict DC power loss and voltage drop for a PCB. As supply voltages continue to decrease and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology employing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation to evaluate parasitic elements in two distinct PCB layouts of 1000 W full-bridge power inverters designed ...

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 ...

Most of us learned to design circuits with schematics. But if you get to a certain level of complexity, schematics are a pain. Modern designers — especially for digital circuits — prefer to use some ...

We see a lot of projects using Eagle for the schematics and PCB layout. There are a few that use Kicad, but we hear very little about other alternatives. Recently, [Limpkin] has been working with ...
