Read Article Project Conception in the Project Management Lifecycle Your electronics project conception management is essential to identifying risks, establishing the product’s viability, and setting reliable development timescales and budgets. Expert Mark Harris explains the importance of project conception in this article. Read Article Should You Use Tight vs. Loose Differential Pair Spacing and Coupling? We get a lot of questions about trace impedance and how to calculate the right trace size to hit a specific impedance in a manufacturable PCB. Just as important as determining an appropriate trace width for a single-ended trace is determination of an appropriate spacing between two traces in a differential pair. So the question is, how close do the traces in a differential pair need to be to each other, and is the need for “tight coupling” really Read Article Six Weeks with Zach Peterson Guest Host Expert PCB Designer and Altium Academy instructor Zach Peterson to takeover OnTrack Podcast for the next six weeks.
