Read Article PCB Design - Fun, Frustration and Misconception What do the top minds in the PCB Design social media space think about the modern landscape? We sat down with Hacksmith Industries, DD ElectroTech, and Electgpl to chat about how they got started, what frustrates them, what they think about A.I., and much more. Chris Thiele - Hacksmith Entertainment Ltd. So I think the most challenging design I've ever made was a Daft Punk helmet, Guy-Manuel. I designed several boards for that project, and they Read Article How to Choose Board Plating and Thickness for Your PCB Ever wondered what surface plating you should use? We've compiled important data on PCB plating. Read Article PCB Via Current-Carrying Capacity: Is My PCB Too Hot? What does PCBA too hot mean? It's a common question from designers, particularly new designers that are learning about industry standards, and refers to the PCB via current-carrying capacity of conductors. Trace and via current-carrying capacity are legitimate design points to focus on when designing a new board that will carry high current. The goal is to keep conductor temperatures below some appropriate limit, which then helps keep components Read Article How the Gibbs Phenomenon Produces Measurement Artifacts The Gibbs phenomenon is a measurement artifact that can be mistaken for real signal integrity problems like ground bounce, ringing from reflections, or resonance on short lines. Read Article Which Type of Opto-Isolator Is Right For Your Circuit? An optoisolator is an electronic device that can be used to pass information between a diode without passing an electrical current. Because there is no need to directly pass voltage or current between the inputs and outputs in an optoisolator circuit, these components can be used to provide electrical isolation in two regions in a PCB. Opto-isolators act as a protection mechanism, ensuring that harmful electrical currents cannot flow across the Read Article What's HDI? Design Basics and the HDI PCB Manufacturing Process Learn about design basics for HDI PCB board design. When planning for the HDI PCB manufacturing process, you can prepare accurate designs and deliverables with Altium Designer. Read Article Creating High Pin Count Schematic Symbols Quickly Making schematic symbols is quick and painless when you use regular expressions and leverage Altium Designer’s expansive toolkit.
