In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

In the first two articles of SI/PI MasterClass, I showed how you can create simple fixtures to characterize small discrete components. In “Solder-wick trick characterizes bypass caps” [1], you can ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Altium, the global leader in PCB design software, is partnering with IHS Markit Electronic Parts Solutions to solve one of the major challenges in PCB design. When ...

Tired of making countless wire jumpers on my perfboard prototypes, I decided to run an experiment to try to minimize manual ...
