What is a Power Sequencer IC?
8 minBlog
Power sequencer ICs are an essential component in many electronic systems that use groups of power regulators for different subsystems and circuits. Simple power sequencing strategies can be implemented with a dedicated power sequencer integrated circuit, a microcontroller, a small FPGA, or a set of analog components. Another solution that consolidates these options into a single component is a mixed-signal IC, which can be programmed to perform...

Is Your Harness Design Agile-Ready? A Scorecard for Modern Development Workflows
5 minBlog
In hardware development, “agility” has evolved from a trending term to a critical capability. As product cycles shorten and complexity increases, teams are expected to deliver rapid iterations without compromising quality or compliance.
However, agility often hits a wall in terms of wire harness design.
Why? Because harness workflows are still among the most rigid, manual, and disconnected parts of the product development process. Too often...

Vibe Coding with AI and Arduinos
6 minAltium Designer Projects
Vibe coding has become a popular buzzword in the AI space and it’s taken on many different meanings lately. In this article, we’re going to show you how vibe coding works with real hardware hooked up to your AI Agent. In order to avoid confusion, we’ll define vibe coding as “chatting back and forth with your AI agent in order to achieve a certain desired result.” Normally this is done strictly in voice but for the purposes of this article we’ll...

Getting Started with Harness Design in Altium Designer 25
6 minBlog
Cable harness design is an integral part of developing modern electronic devices. It plays a particularly important role in multi-board design projects, where the entire system consists of multiple cooperating modules such as a power supply, front panel, control board, backplane, and others.
In complex environments, precise planning of cable connections becomes crucial for ensuring the reliability of the system. A poorly designed harness can...

Integrating Requirements into Your PCB Design Workflow
22 minWebinars
Managing engineering requirements is a critical part of hardware product development, but most tools weren’t built with electronics in mind. Static documents and spreadsheets can’t keep up with fast-moving design workflows, and even specialized requirements software often lives outside the PCB design environment.
If your team struggles with scattered information, unclear ownership, and limited visibility into how requirements are being...

Wire Harness Design for the Circular Economy: Designing for Disassembly and Reuse
5 minBlog
As industries embrace sustainability, hardware teams are under pressure to rethink how products are designed, built, and disposed of. Much attention is given to batteries, PCBs, and packaging, but there’s one, often-overlooked, component that has a significant role to play: the wire harness.
Wire harnesses are central to the function of almost every electronic system, from electric vehicles and appliances to industrial machines and smart devices...

Navigating FDA Design Controls for Medical Electronics
12 minBlog
$2.5 to $5 billion. This is the estimated annual cost of non-compliance with 21 CFR Part 820 for the medical device industry in the United States.
Non-compliance in medical electronic devices can lead to product recalls, legal penalties, and potential loss of market trust, significantly impacting a company's financial health and reputation. Ensuring adherence to these regulations safeguards patient safety but also helps manufacturers avoid these...

EMI From Flex PCB Cables in Multiboard Systems
8 minBlog
Flex printed circuit cables are very useful for saving space and enabling foldable applications in electronics. Flex printed circuit cables also allow some circuitry to be mounted, and unique fixations to an enclosure are possible by incorporating stiffeners and mounting holes. Although flexible printed circuits may cost more than a standard wired cable option, they can enable higher-value applications which definitely offset the design and...
