500 Assembled Boards and All of Them Unusable
Recently, I received 500 assembled boards and all of them were unusable. It’s always one of the most exciting yet nerve-wracking times. You’ve been working on a new design, you’ve exhaustively tested prototypes and then you go to volume production. While it’s the same design as the known-good-tested prototype, it’s not necessarily the same “assembly instance,” if you will, so things can happen. Are all of my BOM line items correct? Did I specify

Top Issues in PCB Data Management Systems and Processes
PCB Data Management is a journey with no final destination. On this journey, significant issues can and often pop up. If you decide to ignore them, they can worsen and ultimately lead to completely ruining your PCB data management systems and processes. In this blog, we will look at several of these issues. I prefer to call them pitfalls because they can appear suddenly, and you can easily fall into them if you’re not careful. But, if you are

Warning Signs You Need PCB Data Management
I get a gut-wrenching feeling when people are doing PCB Design and ignoring all the warning signs around them. It’s like in the movies. I enjoy watching horror movies, but too many times I find them more funny and predictable than scary. Why is it every time the “bad guy” starts to chase the unfortunate helpless victim, their automatic response is to run to the top floor of the building? Everyone is shocked when the person meets their “unseen”

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

PCB EMI/EMC Guidelines: Meeting EMI/EMC Standards in Your Designs
What if you set two cell phones next to each other and suddenly neither of them worked properly? Thankfully, this doesn’t happen because designers and manufacturers made serious efforts to ensure these devices comply with EMC standards on conducted and radiated EMI. Any device should comply with EMC standards before it makes it to the marketplace. While this sounds complicated, you have a number of simple design strategies to help your next
