A printed circuit board design is one of the most commonly used parts of most types of electronics. Large and small electronics, whether they are simple or extremely complex, make use of quality printed circuit boards to ensure they are … Continue reading
What You Need to Know about PCB Layout
Understanding best practices when it comes to PCB layout and design is critical. Whether you’re helping students understand how modern consumer electronics work, or you’re designing consumer electronics yourself, PCBs lie at the heart of the matter. From clocks to … Continue reading
After Design: What to Know about Working with Your PCB Manufacturer
Once you have designed your printed circuit board, it’s time to send off the schematics to a fabricator, also called a PCB manufacturer. This is the point at which the project leaves your hands – there are no further chances … Continue reading
Tips to Simplify & Streamline the Circuit Board Design Process
Designing circuit boards requires an understanding of more than just circuit functionality. It also requires that you understand how the board will fit within the application, what the item will ultimately do, how heat will be dispersed within the board … Continue reading
What to Look for When Considering PCB Design Software
Designing PCBs (printed circuit boards) requires more than just an in-depth understanding of the circuit that you’re trying to build. You need the benefits that come from experience and the ability to bring innovative technologies and techniques to bear. PCB … Continue reading
Common PCB Manufacturing and Design Pitfalls to Avoid
Designing a circuit board can be difficult. The problems could begin in the design phase, or they might occur during PCB manufacturing. If you have a problem in the design that somehow makes it through the other levels of testing … Continue reading
How to Remove Errors with a Gerber File Viewer
When you create a circuit design, you want to make sure that it is truly functional before you have it manufactured. Ideally, it will be perfect before you have a prototype made. Of course, this requires a lot of preparation … Continue reading
