Should we be passionate about this? YES…Why? Because 75–80% of a new product’s cost and “designed‑in quality” is determined and semi-anchored before the prototype build even begins. That means your…
"Garbage in, Garbage out” holds true in the electronic product development world. Missing or bad information at the beginning of a design project will undoubtedly lead to board respins, increased costs, and most importantly, a delayed product release.
HDI construction offers many opportunities for product design. By working with your designer and board fabricator and considering all of the various processes and methods for board construction available, cost effective solutions can be found.
Have you ever started a switching power supply layout, only to realize that it is impossible to match the datasheet’s suggested layout? Have you wondered which parts of the reference…
Electrical spacing rules become significant from a product safety perspective when the normal operating voltage is greater than 30VAC or 60VDC. It may come as a surprise that voltages above…
