Weekly Digest: Altium EDA tools at Embedded World

Created: March 1, 2019
Updated: December 28, 2020

Embedded World Conference 2019 was on everyone’s mind this week. With so many future-oriented technologies and solutions, the conference brought out the best new ideas. As a part of the community, we were eager to share our technology with embedded system developers and product managers looking for fresh perspective and future-friendly EDA tools. Watch our Embedded World highlights video to get a quick recap of the event and take a look at some photos from the event:

This OnTrack Podcast with Judy Warner

This week on the OnTrack Podcast, Judy Warner and Mike Vinson, the COO of Averatek talk about their unique process in which they use a semi-additive process incorporating a liquid metal ink as the catalyst seed layer. This technology will work for both flex, rigid-flex, and rigid circuits so check it out.

You can also listen to the podcast on all your favorite podcast apps including Podbean, iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, TuneIn, Youtube, PlayerFM and if you can’t find us, let us know!

Articles on the PCB Design Blog

We have a new expert series on the PCB Design Blog; we’ve collaborated with industry experts to bring you the best information in PCB design. Check out the new content on the blog this week:

What is Lenz's Law

What is Lenz's Law and How Does it Affect PCB Design? Lenz's law is one of the fundamental physical laws that describes the multitude of relationships between electricity and magnetism. Together with Ampere's law, Gauss law, Faraday's law, Coulomb's law, and the Lorentz force law, we have everything we need to understand the classical behavior of the electromagnetic field. Among these laws, Lenz's law and Faraday's law work together to describe how the magnetic field in your PCB is related to the Read Article

What Is a Solder Bridge? Best Practices in PCB Design A PCB variant is often simply thought of as a new layout created from an old design. However, if you’re creative with your routing and layout, you can use a solder bridge jumper to configure portions of a single PCB layout for multiple variants. This lets you quickly create variants of a PCB layout without rerouting traces or changing your schematics. If you plan to use jumpers in your PCB layout, there are some important guidelines to follow to Read Article
