PCB design guidelines are created as benchmarks for circuit design engineers to meet the industry standards. Following these guidelines will ensure better manufacturability and robust product ...

“Noise problem!” Two words every circuit board designer has heard that trigger hours of lab testing time to identify the culprit. Only later to learn that the noise is due to poor layout of the ...

This article provides common-sense printed-circuit-board (PCB) processing edge and array guidelines that should give most assemblers a good chance at efficiently populating the PCB assemblies (PCBAs) ...

Via in pad seems to be one of the hot topics these days. It's a bit of a tough one, too. The SMT guys pretty much always say, "don't ever do it." However, with certain parts, the component ...
