PCB routing methods continue to evolve, and flexible routing techniques can reduce wire length and free up space on a PCB. Traditional PCB routing is limited by fixation of coordinates of wires and by ...

A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

When electronics engineers design PCBs, they must follow best practices for trace routing. This helps maintain PCB signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Crosstalk can occur ...

Today’s electronic devices market demands miniaturized printed circuit boards (PCBs) with a multitude of high-speed functions integrated on a single board. This causes the designers to have traces ...

Mentor Graphics Xpedition xPCB Layout has introduced new capabilities that will boost designers abilities to create even more complex PCB designs in less time and with greater accuracy than ever ...

A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

The twin developments of increasing clock speeds and the growing functional complexityof devices like FPGAs and SoCs have changed the way that PCBs are designed and laid-out. In the early 1990s a high ...

When the new version of the configuration tool became available, I went to work to learn new commands. When I was looking for the new assignments I was hoping for, I did not find much regarding ...
