In this year in review video, host Zach Peterson revisits some moments from long-time and returning guests in 2022. Topics include PCB packaging, supply chain issues, The CHIPS Act, and much more. Read Article How to Design High-Speed & RF Via Transitions High speed PCBs and RF PCBs often need to make via transitions that carry signals between layers. We’ll look at how to design these transitions in this article. Read Article Product Design in Altium Designer 23 December 9, 2022 ONTRACK BI-WEEKLY Product Design Features in Altium Designer 23 When you work on a product, you don’t just build boards. PCB designers have to work as part of a team to bring advanced products to market. The newest set of features in the upcoming release of Altium Designer 23 focuses on product design, spanning from ECAD to MCAD in multi-board systems with harnesses. New harness design tools - It is now possible to develop full Read Article The Path Forward for Embedded AI In April 2021, I published an article in Printed Circuit Design & Fab, where I proclaimed the future of AI is embedded. In short, my view is that embedded systems will leverage greater usage of AI on the end device, meaning they will rely less on cloud platforms or data centers for inference. Without a doubt, I believe the future of AI is still embedded, but not with the chipset or system architecture I would have thought. At the time of writing Read Article What's New Altium 365 December 2022 The latest Altium 365 updates are here. Read now to learn more.
