The Ball Grid Array, or BGA package is no longer the exclusive preserve of large, complex chips on computer motherboards: today even simple microcontrollers are available with those little solder ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article is the second part of the two part article covering Topology Planning and Topology Routing. The first part covered a Design Engineer capturing Intellectual Property (IP) for a unique ...

My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two Racal-Redac Mini systems for my service bureau, Computer Circuits. What memories remain from ...

In many ways, the work of the hardware developer faced with designing a printed circuit board and then debugging it reminds me of the derring-do swordplay in those classic swashbuckling movies of the ...
