    Relative Permittivity of PCB Substrates: High-k or low-k dielectrics? The relative permittivity of water makes this pencil appear bent If you’ve paid attention to refraction, then you know something about the physics of relative permittivity. The semiconductor industry has managed to continue scaling to smaller technology nodes by using materials with high dielectric constant (so-called high-k dielectrics), but can you see similar benefits in your PCB with similar substrate materials? What about the use of low-k Read Article
    Altium Launches “Refer-a-Friend” and Special Pricing Altium is proud to announce our latest initiative to arm even more PCB designers with the power of Altium Designer and Altium 365. Most new Altium customers have someone from the industry who's told them about us, so in appreciation for your help in making Altium Designer the world's #1 PCB design tool, we've created a program to reward referrals with cash. How does it work? Visit the Refer-a-Friend program page on our website, or simply launch Read Article
    DIY Vapour Phase Reflow Control Shield With all the projects I’ve been working on, I want a better way to reflow boards than just using a hot air rework station. Initially, I was looking at converting a toaster oven to run picoReflow, and building a Pi Hat for the required electronics but I was finding that a good convection toaster oven on Amazon was starting to look rather expensive for the quality of work it would do. Another factor that I had to consider was the size of the oven Read Article
    What is a Schematic Netlist for Your PCB? If you’ve created your next great schematic, there is a lot going on behind the scenes in your design software. The connectivity between components in your schematic can be reduced to a small number of logical and electrical identifiers. The schematic may provide a graphical picture showing connections between different components and pins, but to really understand everything about your design, you’ll need an important document. A schematic Read Article

    High-Speed Design Techniques: Trace Tuning for Routing Length Matching The first time I heard someone talking about “tuning” their high-speed PCB design, the memory of my middle school band came to mind. Back in those days, “tuning” meant taking kids who lacked experience and who used tired old instruments and trying to turn it all into something that blended together. As you would expect, our first attempts at being in tune were not very successful. After some work, though, we were able to stay in tune together Read Article
    How Multi-Level BOMs Can Organize Your Next System Design If only packing for vacation were as simple as it sounds: figure out what clothes you need, throw them in a suitcase, and you’re ready to go—wrong! Here’s the more realistic vacation planning scenario: pack your clothes, pack your children’s clothes, and then pack all the other personal necessities such as diapers, games, etc. Next you need to pack the food followed by whatever gear your particular vacation requires including tents, fishing Read Article
    Frank Duggan: Micro Architecture and Aspiring to MIT Judy Warner: What first got you interested in developing your own microarchitecture using discrete logic? Frank Duggan: Without really knowing the specifics, it was something I'd wanted to do since I was little. I was obsessed with my Snap Circuits electronics kit, and liked to challenge myself to build circuits that do various things. At some point, I decided that building a computer was the ultimate challenge. This was probably because I found Read Article
    Is It Hot In Here Or Is That Your PCB Shorting - Common Causes of Shortages As an undergrad, I once had classes cancelled because of an electrical fire in a neighboring building. Even funnier was that I was actually in a junior-level electrical engineering course when we were dismissed. Several students wanted to go check the fire out; their reasoning was that we were electrical engineers, and thus electrical fires fell under our purview. In this class we’d had quite a few labs ending with blue smoke (and even one small Read Article
    Internet of Things Security Best Practices: Passwords, Patches, and Portals If you’ve ever created devices for military applications you’re probably used to designing with security in mind. If you’re more like me, and just build the odd Internet of Things (IoT) doodad, that’s probably the last thing on your mind. However, recent cyber attacks are highlighting why engineers like us should be a little more concerned with security. These design best practices will show you how you can safeguard your systems. Why Secure the Read Article
