Power Integrity (PI) is a critical aspect of PCB design, ensuring that all components on a board receive the correct amount of power at stable voltage levels. This concept, while straightforward, becomes increasingly complex with the trend towards miniaturization and enhanced functionality in electronic devices. Proper PI analysis will ensure that every transistor, IC, and… Read More »
In the world of electronics and printed circuit boards (PCBs), innovation is relentless. As electronic devices and components continue to shrink in size while packing more functionality, the demand for compact and efficient interconnect solutions has never been higher. This is where Ultra HDI, or Ultra High-Density Interconnect (UHDI), comes into play. UHDI refers to… Read More »
There are certain solder defects that can be greatly mitigated during the PCB and Panel Design Process. Understanding what not to do is important to make sure that the design of the PCB and Panel does not increase the chances of solder defects beyond the normal defect rate of a particular manufacturing process. Identifying sources… Read More »

In designs where the fit of the PCB or its interaction with heat sinks or other mechanical features in the overall design is negligible, the Mechanical Outline Drawing (MOD) and its impact on manufacturability and product reliability is often overlooked. Here are a few examples of items that need to be considered: Placement of Multi-Layered… Read More »
ODB++ (Open DataBase++) is a proprietary, structured, hierarchical data format used in the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) industry for exchanging design and manufacturing data between different software tools and systems. It was developed by Valor Computerized Systems Ltd. and is now maintained by Mentor Graphics, a Siemens Business. The format is supported by leading tools… Read More »
Outsourcing electronic product design to a specialized services company is a strategic decision that can bring numerous benefits to your next engineering project. This is especially beneficial when working with a company that is positioned to act as an extension of your own engineering team. By partnering with a company like FREEDOMCAD, you can leverage… Read More »
So I’ve got a great idea for a new product, I run to my computer to start researching components, drawing up the schematic, and sketching out the mechanical outline. I’ve got the circuits mapped; a rough component placement & the fab drawing created. I’m ready to get this gem into layout so I start to… Read More »
