Avoid Signal Integrity Loss While Using a Fanout Strategy in Your PCB Avoid Signal Integrity Loss While Using a Fanout Strategy in Your PCB When I was much, much younger, I looked at the pin layout on the back of a processor and wondered how anyone can possibly route all of those electrical connections on a PCB. I didn’t know much about signal integrity, of fanouts on PCBs then but fast forward fifteen years and now I get to layout those traces on PCBs. Fanout is a technique where short traces and vias are used to connect inner rows of pins on high pin-count ICs. Fanout can also Read Article
Coatings vs Resins for Your PCB: What’s Best for Providing Protection? Coatings vs Resins for Your PCB: What’s Best for Providing Protection? In today’s world, protection is always a welcome asset. Whether it be protection from the rain above your head (mitigated by a roof), protection from the sun (mitigated by sunscreen), or protection from electromagnetic currents (mitigated by current isolation techniques amongst others). With resin and conformal coating for your PCB, you can think about the forces that attack your PCB from a physical (environmental) standpoint - beyond EMI Read Article
IoT Resources for Developers IoT Resources for Developers From the early days of printed circuit boards, the electronics industry has made huge strides in board materials, copper printing methods, miniaturization, rigid-flex, ELIC, EDA, and much more. Many of the devices we use in our homes, our vehicles, and in our workplaces would not be possible without this continuous evolution of PCB design and technology. The scope of creativity from individuals is unbounded. While the infrastructure for IoT can Read Article

With a little help from Altium Designer and the shortcuts they’ve so graciously added to the program! No matter how quick your Read Article
Working with Altium Designer’s Multilayered Via Routing Rules Routers in PCB Boards: Working with Altium Designer’s Multilayered Via Routing Rules Some of the first ideas and drawings of two-layered PCB design came at the turn of the century, right before the world would descend into its first world war. It should come as a surprise that an idea and an adaptation to circuit boards, two-layers, developed over one-hundred years ago is still alive and well. But it should come as no surprise that with time comes new adaptations, and the era of multilayered stackups is much more appropriate for Read Article
