1:55 Routing Modes . Watch Video Manufacturing Checklists and Tools When it comes to manufacturing, organization is critical. With so many different players involved in the design process (engineers, sourcing agents, manufacturers, etc.), maintaining documentation and utilizing checklists and other tools will keep everyone on the same page and avoid confusion. Additionally, checklists can help ensure that the PCB design is fully complete and ready to send for manufacturing, protecting you from any unexpected Read Article 1:55 Schematic Design Rules Watch Video 1:58 IPC Compliant Footprint Wizard Watch Video 1:10 Voltage Contour And Current Direction Indication Watch Video 1:13 Simultaneous Multi-Network Simulation Watch Video 1:03 HTML Simulation Results Reporting Watch Video 1:12 Violation And Hot-Spot Flagging Watch Video Using the New Select Filter When Selecting Objects in Altium Designer Whether you are making changes or deletions one thing is for certain, you are going to be selecting a lot of design objects in your design as you work on it. Altium Designer has introduced the select filter that will make the task of selecting objects much easier than before. This enables you to configure your design session so that you can select specific object types to work on. When you have an area in your schematic or PCB layout that is very Read Article PCB Design Career and Team Tips Presentation Become an expert PCB Designer when you use Altium Designer software.

Read Article Collecting All the Pieces You Need: What is a Bill of Materials? On a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon with small children, of course you’ll start to panic a bit to figure out what kind of antics you can get them into without causing too much trouble. So, I turned to drawing. We arranged crayons and paper on the dining room table and I began to draft a simple periscope. I outlined each part of the periscope and placed a letter alongside—my engineer was showing. Completed, I showed it to the kids and asked if Read Article GPS Antennas in Your PCB Design: You Won’t Get Lost Again Going on hunting trips with my grandpa as a kid, we would carry a rather large GPS-navigator to help us keep from getting lost in the woods. It had a huge antenna sticking out the top and its battery never lasted longer than a few hours. Fast forward 20 years, and including GPS capabilities in your PCB design has become easier than ever. Many new consumer devices include GPS PCB antenna modules in their design. If you don’t have GPS or RF-design Read Article Dual-Band PCB Antenna Design: Keeping Your EMI In-Line If you were born in the 1980’s or earlier, you probably remember those old brick-like cell phones and their giant antennas. Fast forward to the present, and most people don’t even realize that their smartphones have antennas. Proposed antenna designs have come a long way since the 80’s, and new antennas can send and receive in more than one frequency band. As the mobile and IoT industry continues to advance, electronic devices continue to use Read Article Preventing Ground Loops in Your PCB Design I think we’ve all been there. You buy that awesome stereo system only to hear that familiar humming sound in the background. When you take it back to the store the clerk blames the manufacturer. What components are to be considered a problem? The decoupling capacitor or ground wire? How about the bypass capacitor or PCB ground loop design interference? The stereo manufacturer will blame the component manufacturer and the component manufacturer Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page141 Current page142 Page143 Page144 Page145 Page146 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
