Copper roughness is perhaps the one factor creating the greatest uncertainty in transmission line impedance. Yes, different solvers have different summative models and calculation methods that are implemented to determine an impedance value, but an attempt to calculate the effects of roughness introduces a new uncertainty. This is due to the dependence of roughness-based impedance on the particular model being used and the frequency range where...

If you really take time to appreciate PCB layout, you'll find that circuit boards are as much a work of art as they are driven by science and engineering. Multi-board PCB design only expands the possibilities in terms of form, function, and capabilities. The reality is that many products are multi-board systems, and the need to integrate multiple PCBs into a single package or ecosystem is a specialized area of electronics development. What makes...

Flexible circuits continue to be a winning solution when durability and compact form factor are required. The obvious benefits of being thinner and lighter weight with the ability to be flexed and folded are easy to understand and the technology has been in use for decades. While we often spend time looking at materials, how to design for flexibility, and understanding the fabrication process, today we are going to specifically look at...

Design for Manufacture (DFM) can be quite complex. It involves creating products that are easy to manufacture while ensuring high quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. DFM also encompasses related concepts like Design for Reliability (DFR), Design for Testability (DFT), and Design for Assembly (DFA). In the space industry, DFM demands are even greater. Designers must account for extreme environments, including temperature, radiation, and...

As ubiquitous as AI seems to be these days, there is an equal amount of confusion about how to best leverage the technology. In articles such as Using ChatGPT to Analyze Your Test Data and Using Generative AI to Write and Run Embedded Code we’ve seen how AI, such as ChatGPT, can assist us in not just analyzing data but also writing code for us. For electrical engineers, the analysis and code-writing components of Generative AI can be helpful but...

One of the key challenges in modern electronics is providing tailored power supply solutions. This section may be composed of many different SMPS (switched mode power supply) like AC to DC converters or DC to DC converters. In high power applications, the AC to DC conversion may require a PFC controller to achieve a good power factor of the device (i.e., reduction in harmonics and apparent power consumption). Typical challenges in SMPS design are...

Trace routing is typically the most arduous process during the development of a PCB layout. With a high number of connections, things can get repetitive very fast. Generally, the more connections there are, the longer the routing process takes for each connection. Each critical connection demands precise routing to maintain performance. Join our webinar to discover how Altium, a leader in PCB design innovation, is pushing the boundaries with...
