Here are some money saving methods to keep your PCB designs profitable.

Connectors can be used for various applications and they keep electricity flowing from one element to another.

Learn about the different plating options for PCBs and when they're used

Learn about logic gates and gate-swapping

Noise carries but only so far. We have to tolerate some EMI though there are limits.

Magnetic coupling is a different animal. A moving electrical charge will generate a magnetic field as a byproduct. The magnetic fields can be quite powerful though their effect drops off rapidly.

A PCB may have to host high voltage devices. We compare the circuits to what is found in an electrical substation

Manufacturing a PCB has both incoming and in-process inspection checkpoints along the way to a complete product

The continuing saga of doing more with less in order to compete in the electronics hardware market

There are many factors that can affect PCB assembly, learn how you can mitigate some of the issues

PCB design involves making many small decisions. The law of large numbers says we're going to be wrong sometimes

Creating documents that convey the design requirements is essential to communicate your goals.

Heads downs work is only part of a successful design cycle. The designer works with a wide range of teammates

Here's some insight on the high stakes involved in the electronics assembly industry.

The internet of things (IOT) is a maturing, but still fast growing market. The PC boards have become commoditized.

Setting milestones and using a scheduler will help you keep track of your PCB Design Cycle

Making improvements after-the-fact is easier if we start a PCB design with an eye toward rework and repair.

Chip teams need all the help they can get when a new device comes out of the foundry. PCB design becomes reactionary.

Dealing with uncertainty is part of the process. We can plan for the the unknown and work through it.
