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 ...

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 ...

A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

Despite the recent leaps forward in other forms of computer-driven design, the reliability of PCB autorouters remains ...

Mentor Graphics Xpedition xPCB Layout has introduced new capabilities that will boost designers abilities to create even more complex PCB designs in less time and with greater accuracy than ever ...

The gap between schematic generation and PCB layout reveals a larger problem: Hardware design is still organized as a serial ...

Managing via structures can minimize signal degradation and enable differential pairs to operate at data rates as high as ...

Most printed circuit boards (PCBs) are individually routed, which means they’re not panelized. This doesn’t mean that sometimes, sending them to a PCB assembler in a panel isn’t a good idea (or even ...

For semiconductor products entering production today, silicon remains the strongest choice when maximum routing density, ...
