As a general rule, when a design’s speed rises to more than a few hundred megahertz, it requires a PCB (printed-circuit board) with four or more layers. The only exception occurs when the design uses ...

A structured design review process ensures alignment across teams.

One important innovation in the field of DC/DC power converters is the realization of higher and higher density designs. In the push for smaller-footprint solutions, designers are now focusing on ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...

What is reverse engineering? Tools used to reverse engineer a PCB. Specifics about de-layering Printed-circuit-board (PCB) reverse engineering is a method of analyzing and understanding the design ...
