IoT Resources for Developers

IoT Resources for Developers From the early days of printed circuit boards, the electronics industry has made huge strides in board materials, copper printing methods, miniaturization, rigid-flex, ELIC, EDA, and much more. Many of the devices we use in our homes, our vehicles, and in our workplaces would not be possible without this continuous evolution of PCB design and technology. The scope of creativity from individuals is unbounded. While the infrastructure for IoT can Read Article

Multiboard vs. Multilayer PCB Design Systems

Multiboard vs. Multilayer PCB Design Systems In the past, PCB designers were limited with system designs spanning more than one board. However, recent developments in mechanical CAD systems have given designers the ability to now design multiple boards for a system with relative ease. Thanks to 3D PCB design tool technology, designers are able to save both time and money previously spent on prototypes by confirming that their designs are system-ready Click the PDF above to read more about Read Article

IoT Security Best Practices

Bill of Materials Control

Bill of Materials Control In the past, many PCB designers were confined to tools that dictated at which point in the design process that the Bill of Materials could be produced. But we know from years of experience that the Bill of Materials, or BOM, can change throughout the design process and the iterative change management is its own challenge. We believe the decisions should be up to you, while the repetitive aspects should be automated as much as possible, which is Read Article

Error Checking to Avoid Disaster

Error Checking to Avoid Disaster PCB design has become increasingly complex—now containing even more rules with regards to electrical requirements and configurations. The PCB Editor in Altium Designer has some ways to verify that you are following these requirements, but if you manage to somehow step outside of them, you run the risk of creating an error. This paper highlights key tools that will help you keep track of violations in real time or identify where a violation may Read Article
