How Can Port Automation Reduce Lead Times and Shipping Costs? How Can Port Automation Reduce Lead Times and Shipping Costs? There’s no doubt about the fact that technology will play a critical role in streamlining port operations—and right so. Automation is inevitable in most supply chain situations, but it will be those who adopt this infrastructure first that will ease the burden of increasingly high throughput. While it’s near certain that artificial intelligence (AI) will reduce lead times and shrink the costs involved in global shipping movements, ports have a Read Article
How Chinese Materials Export Restrictions Impact Electronic Components How Chinese Materials Export Restrictions Impact Electronic Components On December 3, 2024, Chinese Commerce Ministry announced an export ban on critical materials like gallium, germanium, and antimony, citing national security concerns. This decision closely followed the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) adding 140 entities, primarily Chinese, to its Entity List on December 2, heightening tensions in ongoing trade disputes. The newly listed entities include organizations from Japan, South Korea Read Article

Gerber X3 Overview of the Gerber X3 File Format Most designers and EDA vendors are probably unaware of the most recent update to the Gerber export formats from Ucamco. Quietly in 2020, Ucamco released an update to the Gerber format, with the new format known as Gerber X3. The new format looks a lot like the format, and unless your EDA software or CAM tool told you that you had a set of Gerber X3 files, you probably wouldn’t know it. So what’s the big deal with this format, and why should Read Article
IRB_Part_I Ideal Rectifier Bridge Introduction Over the past few decades, increasing energy efficiency has become a key challenge in electronics design, particularly in the realm of battery-powered devices and power supplies. Although commonly employed, traditional voltage rectification methods and reverse polarity protection are far from ideal due to significant power losses, which increase thermal demands and impose design constraints. This article focuses on an innovative Read Article
WCA_Article Master Your Circuit Design: Dive into Worst Case Analysis When designing any circuit, it is essential to ensure its reliable performance under various conditions beyond the controlled environment of a laboratory desk. This involves considering component tolerances and temperature variations. In safety-critical applications, such as aerospace and military, additional factors like component aging and radiation exposure must also be considered. While setting up appropriate tests can be challenging, a Read Article
EMI Series Part IV Mastering EMI Control in PCB Design: How to Design PCBs for Low EMI Welcome to the fourth article in our series on Mastering EMI Control in PCB Design. In this installment, we will explore advanced aspects of managing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) that are crucial for effective PCB design. When designing printed circuit boards (PCBs), a key challenge is ensuring that your design can pass both radiated and conducted emissions tests. This is vital for meeting regulatory standards and ensuring that your PCB Read Article
Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) for Defense Electronics Understanding Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) for Defense Electronics Navigating technology export regulations can be as challenging as understanding the technologies themselves. At the heart of these regulations lies Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs), a system that's both a gatekeeper and a guide for the international trade of sensitive technologies. This article aims to demystify ECCNs with insights and practical compliance advice for defense electronics professionals. The ABCs of ECCNs ECCNs are five Read Article
