Do you design or define PCB layouts? If so, what rules and checks do you have in place to make sure your results are… optimal? Over the years, I've created a PCB design checklist to keep me out of ...

EMA Design Automation, Cadence Design Systems Inc., and Rochester Institute of Technology are collaborating to provide college-level printed circuit board (PCB) design courses for students in RIT’s ...

PCB design course is an asynchronous online hands-on project-based course that provides instructions on the entire design capture process, starting with the User Interface, Project Creation, Schematic ...

I’ve experienced a lot of pain with a recent project and wanted to share some thoughts: I was doing the PCB layout on a time-critical project and needed component footprints and 3D step models. Many ...

Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

PCB design is not a simple exercise in which one size fits all. High-data-rate, high-frequency designs provide very little “wiggle” room in terms of performance constraints. If you have a failed ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.
