Flattening Your Workflow: A Guide to “Flat” Style Project Management As flat organizations become more popular so do the methods and processes that come along with them. This blog discusses not the flat organizational structure itself but how a flat organization functions within the project management arena. The principles of project management learned from a flat organization can be adopted in the flattest companies to the most hierarchically structured organizations. Being “flat” is hip but why should I do it Read Article Agile for Hardware: Sprints and Working Prototypes Today, there is a plethora of changes emerging in product development. In these next few blog posts, we’ll focus on one of them: agile practices on hardware design. As traditional products become more complicated, many engineering firms have been adopting methods to increase productivity and streamline the development process. More software and electronic components are going into mechanical products than ever before, and efficiency is key to Read Article Weekly Digest: Dan Beeker Podcast and more This week we have a new podcast and a special promotion going on as well.

Electronic companies that haven’t progressed their design process and remain stuck with the conventional way of managing their ECAD data find it to be very costly and inefficient. With market pressures that leave no margin for error, electronic companies that don’t address the needs of today’s Read Article Multiple Licenses Read Article Single License Read Article Altium Designer 19 vs Altium Designer 18 Feature Comparison Read Article 4:11 Grids And Alignment - How-To:PCBWorksvid Watch Video 1:06 Unified Design Environment - Benefits:PCBWorksvid Watch Video Designing a 6-Layer PCB Stackup for Enhanced EMC 6-layer PCBs are an economical and popular stackup for a variety of applications with high net count and small size. Larger boards might work fine with a 4-layer stackup, where signal layers can be sacrificed to ensure isolation between each side of the board. With the right 6-layer stackup, you can suppress EMI between different layers and accommodate fine-pitch components with high net count. However, there are cases where it makes more sense Read Article Tips for High Frequency PCB Design in Embedded Systems Today's high-speed embedded systems incorporate diverse functionality, components, digital interfaces, and of course, wireless/RF signaling. If you're designing embedded systems with any level of computing power that also includes an analog front end, then you have multiple mixed-signal design challenges to overcome. Whether it's a simple sub-1 GHz radio connection, Wifi/BLE, or multi-gigabit Ethernet, embedded systems need some way to interface Read Article DFSI: Overcoming Channel Loss In a previous article , we established that loss is one of the primary signal integrity challenges to overcome. In this article, we’ll talk about the sources of loss, what you can do about them, and an often neglected aspect of loss. There are various options for reducing loss, in this article I’ll discuss how to: Change your architecture to orthogonal or cables Use better PCB materials with lower DF resin and smoother copper Add active repeaters Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page103 Current page104 Page105 Page106 Page107 Page108 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
