RF and Mixed Signal PCB Layout

This session is intended for board designers to understand the things RF engineers request during PCB layout. Experienced RF engineers will likely not learn anything new from this course, as the... [more]

Manufacturing by Design is the New DfM

Today’s SMT and PTH assembly processes are driven by component packaging technology and functional design requirements. These requirements are driving manufacturing/test toward “build right” and... [more]

The Butterfly Effect in PCB Design: Optimization of High-speed Lines for an FMC Carrier Board

When signals start to get affected by the physical characteristics of the PCB, things start to get a little tricky. A simple point-to-point connection won’t be enough to keep the integrity of the... [more]

From DC to AC - Power Integrity and Decoupling Primer for PCB Designers

Supply voltages decrease with every new silicon generation, contributing as well to the goal of reducing power consumption of our electronics. Coupled with the resulting shrinking noise margins for... [more]
