Designing Printed Electronics with Altium Designer 19
As far as I know, Altium Designer 19
®
is the first electronics design tool that effectively supports printed electronics design. With this tool you can create printed electronics designs in the same level as with capabilities parallel to standard PCB designs, and to do that, Altium created electronics design features specific to printed electronics. With Altium Designer 19 you can define design rules according to production capabilities that will

Closing the gap between Electronics (ECAD) and Mechanics
Users of modern devices expect manufacturers to design new generations of products that exceed their demands and expectations—high-quality products which provide amazing user experiences. With regard to product design that offers the best user experience, PCB design software is expected to provide engineers with specific features enabling the seamless collaboration between the electrical and mechanical engineers. To efficiently meet the above

Ceramic Capacitors - Why Voltage and Capacitance Ratings Aren't the Full Picture
Ceramic Capacitors - Why Voltage and Capacitance Ratings Aren't the Full Picture The true capacitance of ceramic capacitors rarely matches what is stated on the specifications once they’re installed in end applications. Depending on what frequency, voltage, and dielectric you’re using, true capacitance can be vastly different from what you’d expect. This guide walks through the common misconceptions and demonstrates how to select the right

Designing For The Mil-aero Market Segment—Navy
When it comes to PCB design for a particular market segment, often times the design methodologies readily transfer from one market segment to another with very few, if any, significant changes. Other times this is not the case and designing products for a particular market segment requires specific design practices, materials and testing procedures. This blog is the first in a series addressing design strategies for specific vertical market

Getting Started in Altium Designer: The Schematic
A schematic is a way to record an idea. Schematics are drawings or diagrams that are used to communicate electronic ideas to others. You may have never thought about it, but anyone who understands electronics can look at your schematic and understand your idea, no matter what language they speak! Schematics are a universal “language” for recording and sharing electronic ideas. Here’s the official definition from IPC-T-50 (Terms and Definitions)

Unique Flex Termination Methods
I think it is important to know that basically any connector you would select for rigid printed circuit boards can also be assembled to a flexible circuit. Traditional thru-hole and SMT connectors, high density circular connectors, D-subminiature connectors, pin and socket connectors, leaded and unleaded, are all options to consider with flexible materials. That said, I am going to veer slightly off topic with the caution to NOT forget to review

The Value of Rapid Prototyping Hardware
Open hardware boards provide a fast path forward during the prototyping phase. But then what? One of the most important aspects of prototyping is exploratory learning. Each stage explores the balance of tradeoffs between performance, power, cost, ease of manufacturing, and many other variables. The initial idea begins to morph, becoming better than it originally was. The downside of this incremental improvement is that each stage of prototyping
