Welcome to the July edition of the Altium OnTrack Newsletter!

In Rock Stars and Superheroes, we talk with veteran PCB Designer Bill Brooks, who has been designing boards since 1969.

In Next Gen Designers, we introduce you to the WARR Hyperloop team from the Technical University of Munich, who won the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition II in 2017, and broke the world record as well!

In the OnTrack video series, Ben Jordan teaches part three of his multi-board series, this time focusing on signal and power integrity issues.

Lastly, we have fresh Brain Food.

Enjoy and always...stay OnTrack!

Highlighting Exceptional PCB Designers
 
Bill Brooks started designing and making circuit boards as a young teen in his father’s circuit board operation that was based in their garage. Since then he has continued to grow in skill and sophistication as a professional PCB designer. Over the years he has contributed to the industry through volunteering for the IPC Designer Council and teaching design courses at a college in his hometown of San Diego. Enjoy reading about this PCB design veteran.

risk vs reward Risk Vs. Reward During the recent IPC APEX expo, there was a lot of discussion about SAP, or semi-additive PCB processes. As with any new technology in PCB manufacturing, there were people that are excited to jump right in and start designing with much finer feature sizes and work through the inevitable changes to the traditional thought process. Others are in a let’s wait and see mode and of course, there are a few skeptics there as well. There were a few stand Read Article
Designing Your PCB for a Boundary Scan Test Designing Your Circuit Board for Boundary Scan PCB Testing You can avoid some manual circuit tests with a boundary scan test On simple boards with few components and surface-level traces, you can probably test all aspects of your board by hand without much difficulty. Imagine you needed to do this with a multilayer PCB, and you’ll see that there are many aspects of a manufactured and assembled board that cannot be tested by hand. With more advanced boards, where traces are embedded in the interior layers Read Article

What to do With Unused Pins on a Microcontroller What to do With Unused Pins on a Microcontroller I must admit that I’m not exactly the right person to turn to for cleaning tips. I dread the annual spring cleaning as there are always surprises in the storerooms to deal with. Occasionally, I stumble upon items that I barely even recognize but eventually decide to hold on to. While my indecisiveness with unused items results in some nagging from my wife and loss of additional space, failing to deal with unused pins on a microcontroller can have Read Article
Advanced Tools to Increase the Quality of PCB Manufacturing Documents Advanced Tools to Increase the Quality of PCB Manufacturing Documents Guest writer Peter Smith shares tips for getting the best out of Altium Draftsman®. When I started at a company relatively recently, I (and the other designers) were less than impressed with the quality of the manufacturing datapack. It took some work, but we managed to convince the management that it was worth investing the time and effort to produce datapacks that were complete and looked really professional. At the time, we were on Altium Read Article
Use Unique ID EEPROM in Your Embedded System to Prevent Design Counterfeiting Use Unique ID EEPROM in Your Embedded System to Prevent Design Counterfeiting There’s a saying that smart people don’t always finish the race first. In college, I remember some classmates copying my assignments, only to end up getting better scores than I did. Being smart didn’t necessarily guarantee me the top grades in college and watching others achieve success based on my ideas became demoralizing. The business world is similar; it isn’t uncommon for companies to copy concepts that work well for their competitors and Read Article
Let Your Designs Talk for You: Export Altium 3D Layout Artwork to Adobe® PDF Let Your Designs Talk for You: Export Altium 3D Layout Artwork to Adobe® PDF It wasn’t long ago that getting to new places around town required talking and writing down verbal instructions from another. I’d pull out my city map and study the route, having to note each street and intersection where I’d turn. It worked, but it took concentration and good map-reading skills. Today, I use my smart phone’s map feature and audio capabilities to get where I’m going. Assembly instructions for printed circuits contain the same Read Article
Add Any Component to Your Design With Unified Component Libraries Add Any Component to Your Design With Unified PCB Component Libraries When embarking on the PCB design journey, there are some initial hurdles you’ll need to overcome in order to get your design process running smoothly and without interruption. Sometimes the hurdle is as manageable as making sure you get your coffee in the morning. Sometimes the hurdle is as tall as not having the knowledge, comfort, or software you need to accomplish your design tasks. Oftentimes, when sketching out an initial PCB design, there Read Article
How the Right Tools in Your PCB Toolkit Can Help Your Next Design How the Right Tools in Your PCB Toolkit Can Help Your Next Design When my sons were young, it was a joy for me to introduce and show them how to use tools for repair or construction. They would ask questions about the different tools in my toolkit, and my pair of old Channellock pliers really seemed to catch their interest. To tell the truth, those Channellocks are my favorite too. I inherited them from my dad, and still use them. They’re the first tool in my kit that I look for when I need to solve a problem Read Article
