1. PCB design represents just one segment of a larger system design that starts with integrated-circuit fabrication. Higher-speed connections and SWaP (size, weight, and power) consistently raise the ...

Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

PCBWorks is a PCB design tool created by Altium to enhance workflow collaboration between electrical and mechanical designers. Created in direct response to the divide between electrical and ...

This is the continuation of a series where I create a PCB in every software suite imaginable. Last week, I took a look at KiCad, made the schematic representation for a component, and made a schematic ...

The first fully featured PCB design tool available free of charge to all without limitation is the claim made by RS Components for DesignSpark PCB. The only limitation is that you have to join the ...

Printed circuit board (PCB) design is a complex endeavor, but it’s more manageable when you have access to the right tools. Numerous companies now offer PCB design tools that allow collaboration ...

Cadence Design Systems has started bringing artificial intelligence (AI) into the fold on its flagship chip design suite to help designers build smaller, faster processors that consume less power and ...

Describing his homebrewed GPU cluster as his “nemesis,” bitluni didn’t even intend to build the device, which was designed ...

Yet when it’s time to send a design to manufacturing, many organizations still fall back on a process that hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades – export Gerbers, generate drill files, create ...

PCB design tools have traditionally revolved around software packages users would download and install on their own PCs or workstations. A startup company called Flux is trying to change that ...
