Overview of the Human Body Model in EMC The human body model provides a description of charge accumulation and discharge from the human body, and it provides a way to understand how charge redistributes into a circuit during ESD. Read Article Unite PCB and Mechanical Designers Unite PCB and Mechanical Designers Effective collaboration between mechanical and electrical designers is crucial for better product design, but language barriers and inefficient data exchange hinder it. Time-to-market pressures drive the need for faster development cycles, cost reduction, and superior product quality. Altium MCAD CoDesigner integrates mechanical designers using Altium Designer into a collaborative workspace, enabling seamless Read Article Entrepreneur’s Guide to Modular Product Design One of the most common questions I get from my hardware startup clients is this: how can I de-risk my prototype? Entrepreneurs that are just getting started converting their proof-of-concept into a real device that they can test in the field want to make sure their time, effort, and money are put to good use. A lot of entrepreneurs are putting their hard-earned savings into these ventures, and it's desirable to ensure any potential causes of Read Article Concept Phase – Initial CAD Design This installment of the open source laptop project development log will walk you through the early concept and brainstorming phase. The first step is to collect the ideas and requirements for the end device and condense them as best as possible into a simplified draft. It is not important in this stage to pay too much attention to the technical details—it is about laying a foundation i.e. creating a framework that can be subdivided and refined in Read Article 24:31 Discover the Benefits of Altium 365 Version Control for Solo Designers with Ari Mahpour Are you a solo electronics designer or engineer looking to optimize your design process and boost productivity?

Read Article The Impact of the Defense Sector in the Electronic Industry Ecosystem Our guest Nathan Edwards, an Executive Director, U.S. Partnership for Assured Electronics (USPAE) will share with us what goes in a Defense Electronic Consortium (DEC) and how all of these impact the electronics eco-system. Read Article Should a Capacitor Be Used For ESD Protection? Capacitors are not capable of fully protecting a system from ESD, other components are also needed for comprehensive protection. Read Article Why Are Advanced Car Radars Using So Many Antennas? Advanced car radar systems rely on large virtual arrays for high-resolution imaging, long range, and/or tracking of multiple objects. Read Article The Current State of AI in PCB Design in 2023 Your favorite machine learning, optimization, and generative AI algorithms may soon be used in your favorite PCB design program. Now that ChatGPT has become a household name and competitor companies are developing their own GPT equivalents (Claude, LLaMa, etc.), EDA startups are looking at how to leverage these tools to help PCB designers and engineers be more productive. With so many industries touched by automation and AI, it was only a matter Read Article How to Build a Hardware Startup: Beginning to Realize Your Electronics Dreams Every hardware startup has questions on funding, sourcing, testing, and manufacturing. Let’s go step-by-step through the main questions. Read Article Electronic Hardware Startup Tips: From Idea to Manufacturing AI, smart devices, proliferation of high compute to the edge, and ubiquitous integration of just about every electronic devices have put us solidly in what some call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The history of the past two decades of technological development is one where the barriers to entry into market have never been lower, including for innovators who have never built a piece of hardware. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that we Read Article Better Thermal and Power Efficiency for Your PCB Our guest Steven Schnier, Systems Engineer for Power Management at Texas Instruments generously shares the different strategies for designing better thermal and power efficient PCB.

Watch Video Crosstalk Reduction and Elimination Techniques in Altium Designer Whether you're designing a digital board with a ton of traces, or an RF board operating at very high frequencies, any electronic device with propagating signals will experience crosstalk. It's simply a matter of whether that crosstalk is so extreme that the system fails to function, or whether crosstalk is within some acceptable limit. There is no universal level of "acceptable" crosstalk levels, but if you do find through simulation and Read Article What's New in Altium 365 - May 2023 The latest Altium 365 updates are here.
