When to Use PCB Thermal Pads or Paste for Thermal Management Design When to Use PCB Thermal Pads or Paste for Thermal Management Design It’s rare that one will offhandedly know which thermal interface material will work the best for their PCB thermal pad. This article weighs the advantages and disadvantages of thermal pads vs. pastes with these helpful guidelines. Read on to find out more about thermal management and thermal design! I used to live in Alabama, which I casually referred to as Hell in the summertime. Lots of heat, lots of humidity, lots of sweat. I am thankful Read Article
High-Speed PCB Design Principles: Keep Traces Short and Direct High-Speed PCB Design Principles: Keep Traces Short and Direct Your signals travel at the speed of light, and so does their EMI. As you know, high-speed PCB design can often have issues with EMI. This EMI risk can come from long traces that form transmitting or receiving antennas. Longer traces also cover more distance, which increases the chances that sensitive circuits are affected along the way. Using short traces that take direct paths will help reduce EMI risk from both antennas and trace proximity. I Read Article
High-Speed PCB Differential Pair Routing to Preserve Signal Integrity High-Speed PCB Differential Pair Routing to Preserve Signal Integrity

Proper routing of differential pairs in high speed digital circuits is necessary for preserving signal integrity in PCBs. Some other items to consider when looking at your PCB, may be the ferrite bead or decoupling capacitor. However today, let's discuss some things to set you on the right path. Follow these differential pair routing guidelines and leave your EMI troubles behind. I once went on a blind date with a woman who, unbeknownst to me

Solving Modern PCB Layout Challenges Solving Modern PCB Layout Challenges PCB technology advances are a two-edged sword. They have increased the power and applicability of electronics. But they also make PCB layout more difficult, raising the risk of longer time-to-market cycles and higher product costs. Designers can mitigate these risks by using a unified PCB layout software package that provides the automation necessary to bring products to market quickly and on-budget.
