EMA Webinar Set for April 30: What Your Data Should Be Doing for You
April 16, 2020 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Clear communication and smooth collaboration becomes even more important as we experience unprecedented times during Covid-19. As most of us are working from home, small challenges become much larger issues, from tracking updates and statuses across multiple projects to data integrity difficulties. Therefore, it is important to learn how to create an environment that encourages design reuse, promotes best practices, reduces development time, and keeps stakeholders on the same page.
Join EMA Design Automation on April 30 for the webinar "PCB Data Management Fundamentals: What Your Data Should Be Doing For You." In this webinar, attendees will learn:
- Types of CAD data to manage
- PCB data structure
- Importance of 'invisible' data management
- Common issues and how to prevent them with a data management infrastructure
The webinar is scheduled for April 30, 2020, from 2:00-3:00 pm Eastern.

Everyone’s Talking About Power
11/06/2025 | Heidi Barnes, Keysight TechnologiesDelivering power to a digital load is an AC function, not DC. That simple statement may be obvious, but the implications of how electricity travels to an electronic load are complicated. Dynamic loads with rapidly changing currents create electric and magnetic fields that adhere to Maxwell’s equations. Ground can be misleading and is probably better used for describing where one grows potatoes and carrots. Electrical currents have “return paths,” and the energy is traveling in the fields between the power rail and the return path.
New Podcast Episode: “Bonding Innovation: How Adhesives and Coatings Are Powering the Next Generation of Electronics”
11/05/2025 | I-Connect007I-Connect007 has released of a new episode in its Voices of the Industry podcast series, titled “Bonding Innovation: How Adhesives and Coatings Are Powering the Next Generation of Electronics.” Hosted by Nolan Johnson, this insightful discussion dives deep into the evolving world of adhesives and coatings—materials that are redefining performance, reliability, and design in modern electronics manufacturing. Dymax's Doug Katze, a leading expert in adhesive technologies, delivers what can only be described as a master class on how these critical materials are adapting to meet rapidly changing market demands.
Target Condition: Distribution of Power—Denounce the Ounce
11/05/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionHave you ever wondered why the PCB design segment uses ounces to describe copper thickness? There’s a story behind all of this—a story that’s old, dusty, and more than a little absurd. (Note that I didn’t add “Like many of us.”) Legend has it that back in the days of copper tinkers and roofing tradesmen, the standard was set when a craftsman hammered out a sheet of copper until it weighed one ounce, when its area conveniently matched the square of the king’s foot.
