When electronics engineers design PCBs, they must follow best practices for trace routing. This helps maintain PCB signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Crosstalk can occur ...

PCB routing methods continue to evolve, and flexible routing techniques can reduce wire length and free up space on a PCB. Traditional PCB routing is limited by fixation of coordinates of wires and by ...

Charles Pfeil is an Engineering Director in the Systems Design Division at Mentor Graphics. My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two ...

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents the next great step forward in PCB design. This is, of course, what you might expect me to say. 2023 has been a year dominated by the rise of ...

This is the third and final installment of a series of posts on how to create a PCB in KiCad, and part of an overarching series where I make the same schematic and board in dozens of different ...

Multi-layered printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically preferred because they offer high signal intensity. Of all the multi-layered types, the 2-layer PCB is the most common, as it can accommodate ...
