Designers who use today’s large FPGAs on their PCBs (printed-circuit boards) face an increasing problem: handling the pinout and board tracking around the packages of these programmable devices. The ...

This week Mentor Graphics released its Xpedition™ platform, which squarely takes aim at simplifying board layout and place and route. Long gone are the days when each component could be considered a ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

It is a good day for design review! Today’s board is the MuBook, a Lattepanda Mu SoM (System-on-Module) carrier from [LtBrain], optimized for a NAS with 4 SATA and 2 NVMe ports. It is cheap to ...

This ebook by John Burkhert is a step-by-step guide on printed circuit board design with information suitable for beginners to graduate-level users. This series is for anyone who wants to design their ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...

In high-speed PCB design, late-stage signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) issues can lead to costly redesigns and delays. This white paper explores how in-design analysis helps engineers ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Firmware often is preprogrammed into flash memory devices prior to the printed-circuit board’s (PCB) manufacture to maintain high ...
