This article discusses the similarities and differences of auto-route versus auto-interactive routing and which type of routing would be best to use.

When deciding to use SGMII vs. SerDes, you need to know what PCBA trace routing guidelines apply. In this blog, we tell you how and why.

Reflow-induced failure is often overlooked until the turnaround time and costs for your boards increases. In this blog, we show you how to avoid these issues.

This article talks about the importance of net management for power routing on a printed circuit board and some methods for doing so.

When talking about a microprocessor vs. integrated circuit, there are many important distinctions and design considerations you need to know to work with them.

A linear power supply is generally not as efficient as a switch-mode power supply (SMPS), but it does afford better performance.

This article is about Vertical Conductive Structures (VeCS) and how they are used to benefit high-density routing in a printed circuit board design.

SerDes in FPGA minimizes the number of input/output pins and connections while providing data transmission over a differential or single line.

Here is a collection of AC-DC power supply guidelines to help you incorporate this essential technology into your circuit designs.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) provide different perspectives regarding risk in critical electronic systems.

The use of thermal relief in circuit design is critical to the design process and it affects performance, functionality, and lifecycle.

Implementing lean manufacturing eliminates waste and increases value.

Designing analog ASICs should be performed with the same objectives of operational and structural reliability as for PCBA design, as we explain in this blog.

Is thermal paste needed for your board’s assembly can be determined by following the checklist we provide in this blog.

The phase shift formula enables calculations that are vital to AC circuit analysis. Let’s look at the importance of these phase shift calculations.

Laminated object manufacturing is a type of 3D printing and is a great way to rapidly and cheaply produce single-layer PCB prototypes.

Although Verilog is an HDL, it is more of a hardware modeling language and thus more suited for verification than VHDL.

Microprocessor chip design continues to evolve to meet the demand for greater speed, higher functionality, and better performance.
