What is reverse engineering? Tools used to reverse engineer a PCB. Specifics about de-layering Printed-circuit-board (PCB) reverse engineering is a method of analyzing and understanding the design ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

This paper will provide an overview of the most important aspects of the layout of boost step-up switching regulators and buck step-down switching regulators. There are many similarities in the key ...

Following on the success of the last book that I excerpted in the Design Column of the EDA Designline, I have another book for you. This one is targeting PCB designers as the primary market, but there ...

After my DIY article “Build Your Own Headphone Amp” in the May 25 issue, the good folks at Radio World asked me to share the process by which I make printed circuit boards. There are usually two ...

If the folks at ECM PCB Stator Technology have their say, applications for printed circuit board (PCB) stator motors will replace the bulky copper windings associated with electric motors. The ...

CENTENNIAL, Colo. & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) and Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) have expanded their ongoing collaboration, launching the ...

What if the future of electric motors didn’t rely on bulky copper windings or heavy steel components? Ziroth outlines how Printed Circuit Board (PCB) motors are flipping the script on traditional ...
