Material Selection for High-Speed PCB Design
When it comes to purchasing circuit boards, “commodity manager” may have been a reasonable title decades ago, but it’s not accurate today. Everything matters at higher speeds.

Why Are You Still Using Gerber?
The alternatives to Gerber, IPC-2581 and ODB++, offer a single-source, intelligent dataset used for processes throughout the PCB cycle. A longtime user compares and contrasts the ECAD formats. READ MORE...

Designing for Higher Power in Smaller Form Factors
The redesign of a higher wattage adapter into a space 25% smaller was made easy by thermal modeling software. READ MORE...

The Mechanism of Nickel Corrosion in ENIG Deposits and How to Mitigate It
ENIG specs call for examination corrosion for a continuous intermetallic formed between the nickel layer and bulk solder. Can solder wetting balance testing predict the acceptability of ENIG deposits with level 2 or 3 corrosion? READ MORE...

Maxwell and Transmission Lines
Many electronic engineers leave Maxwell to the textbooks. But in logic, the rise times for signals are often less than a nanosecond – bandwidth that invites unwanted radiation, interference and crosstalk. Can Maxwell’s equations help? READ MORE...
