Three independent design processes – chip, package, and PCB – are typically required for the latest electronic products which utilize increasingly complex systems on chip (SoCs) and multiple chips in ...

The traditional product design process revolves around adding features by placing integrated circuits and discrete components on the printed circuit board (PCB). We call the traditional process ...

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 ...

Software developers have long given lip service to the idea of crossing the mechanical-electronic divide. New and future developments may finally deliver on such promises. Examine most products today ...
