Best Methods For Design That Satisfies Power Integrity Parameters with Kella Knack
In my previous articles, I addressed Power Delivery System (PDS) design, the myths surrounding it and ways to implement a successful working PDS. At the core of all these efforts lies power integrity. What is it? What are the challenges associated with it? How can it be successfully incorporated into a fully-functioning PCB implementation? This article will address the beginnings of power integrity, the various facets of component functionality

Rigid-Flex Prototyping Tips
Question: What are a few key tips for flex and rigid-flex prototyping? My answer to this question is simple: OVER COMMUNICATE with your fabricator! Typically, prototypes are needed quickly, yet approximately 75%-80% of new part numbers go on hold for engineering questions and clarifications. This can have a significant impact on scheduling. Before you can work on ways to communicate clearly with your fabricator, you need to select the right

PCB Layout Tip: Save Time with Reusable Blocks
To survive today’s business environment for PCB Designers, design reuse is crucial for quick PCB layout. We must always work faster and smarter. That means whatever available methods might streamline the process to make it more straightforward and faster the better. However, when things go faster, usually more mistakes occur, and they are generally not caught. One strategy that helps tremendously is using reusable designs. A common practice in

Continuous Integration and Deployment in ECAD
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment have become widely adopted practices within the software world. The concept of Continuous Integration and Deployment don’t need to be limited to just software - they can be extended into the ECAD world as well. In this article we will address both concepts and how they can be leveraged in ECAD tools. Continuous Deployment Designers will frequently make changes to their code and check it into the

Navigating the Complexities of Component Libraries and Data Management
Keeping your component libraries and data organized, accurate and optimized for team use is critical for all engineers and PCB designers. Unfortunately, it can be extremely tedious and it takes time and energy away from the actual design of the board and products. It’s akin to an artist spending 75% of their time organizing art supplies and only 25% on painting! Below you’ll find a variety of content sources that we hope will help you streamline

EMC Certification and Your Product
I’ve spent most of my career in electronics working with or for small businesses and startups, and helping them shape ideas into a physical product. Some recurring misconceptions I faced with almost every client were regarding Electromagnetic Compatibility compliance. Many had no idea that their products would need EMC testing, some were unaware of the duration of time and cost of certification, and others were unaware of how requirements applied

Key Documents for Fabrication and Assembly
I come from humble beginnings - a long line of farmers in central Pennsylvania. It is amazing how one can take a simple seed, place it in the ground, and tend to it. Before long, you have a mature plant with a variety of uses: food for people, feed for livestock, and most importantly, more seeds for the next growing season. With so much riding on the seed, it is no wonder why you want to guard and protect it. Your PCB Designs are like that simple

Successful PCB Design Data Management
Previously, we looked at what a successful Data Management system entails and how we would identify a reliable System that is safe to use. In this blog, we’ll look at what your Data Management system will need to ensure its success. While every Data Management System is unique, there are universal principles which we’ll explore that are vital to a PCB’s utility. These principles are like pillars supporting a bridge; if any single pillar is

Advanced PCB Library Management
A previous article from Altium’s PCB design blog showed everyone how to get started with integrated PCB library management. In the previous article, you can get a look at creating an integrated library project and how to compile schematics and PCBs into their own libraries. You can then take schematic libraries and your PCB libraries and compile them into an integrated library. This allows you to package sets of important design and component
