Creating a custom Altium pick and place file

Creating a custom Altium pick and place file I recently worked with a customer who had to generate a nonstandard pick and place file because his assembly house was using antiquated equipment and could not accept a standard Altium pick and place file. I though it might be helpful to show how to use the Bill of Material generator within Altium to create a custom report to meet such needs. The procedure is quite simple. The first step is to open the Bill of Materials dialog and drag the Read Article

The Fundamentals of Programming a PIC Microcontroller

The Fundamentals of Programming a PIC Microcontroller One thing I’ve learned from parenting: it can be incredibly difficult to teach a child something. While they might be very interested, and they might have all the time and resources in the world, if the child isn’t ready to learn or is missing some crucial building block, they might just not get the skill or lesson. Thankfully, programming a PIC microcontroller unit (MCU) is considerably easier. With the right programming tools, circuit, and Read Article

Flexible Circuit Base Materials

Flexible Circuit Base Materials Question: As someone new to designing with flex materials, what is important to understand about the base materials? For people new to calling out flex materials, it can be a little intimidating. Just like their rigid material counterparts, there are so many options to choose from, it can be mind-boggling. But, also just like their rigid material counterparts, once you learn the “basics”, most designs will fit within common parameters. Once those Read Article

Coverlay Type Driven by Installation and End Use Requirements

Coverlay Type Driven by Installation and End Use Requirements Question: Should I use polyimide coverlay, or flexible solder mask? The fundamental purpose of either flexible solder stop mask or polyimide coverlay is no different than rigid solder mask. It is needed to encapsulate and protect the external circuit layers. But, when moving to a flexible circuit design the bending, folding and flexing requirements of the circuit in assembly and end use most often dictate which materials are recommended to Read Article

SAP and mSAP in Flexible Circuit Fabrication

SAP and mSAP in Flexible Circuit Fabrication Question: What is SAP and mSAP? This is an excellent question. These acronyms are getting a lot of attention lately and are relatively new acronyms for the PCB industry, which ironically is infamous for using them. SAP and mSAP are not new terms to the electronics industry, they are common processes in IC substrate fabrication, but these are processes that are emerging technology in the PCB fabrication segment. After saying this is new technology Read Article
