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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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. Firmware often is preprogrammed into flash memory devices prior to the printed-circuit board’s (PCB) manufacture to maintain high ...

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 ...
