Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

Wisdom From Data-center Power Pioneer Mike Mosman
09/02/2025 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Few engineers have moved the levers of modern electronics more decisively than Mike Mosman. From the pre-email computer rooms of the 1980s to today’s hyperscale campuses cranking out AI cycles, the retired power engineer and co-founder of CCG Facilities Integration has spent four decades proving that uptime is a design discipline, not a hope.
Target Condition: Floor Planning Without a Floor
08/27/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionBy a show of hands, how many PCB designers have been asked to start a layout without a board outline, keep-out zones, or even height constraints? How many have had to work within a specific enclosure before the schematic was finalized? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Starting a PCB layout without critical constraints is like hiring an interior designer to buy furniture and carpet for a house you haven’t even purchased yet, or, even worse, trying to fit four bedrooms' worth of furniture in a one-room cabin.
Review: PCEA Orange County Summer Meeting
08/06/2025 | Dan Feinberg, Technology Editor, I-Connect007The Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA) represents a community of engineers, designers, and industry influencers dedicated to the advancement of PCB technology, design, and manufacturing, and the growth and knowledge of its membership. PCEA regularly hosts events to share the latest developments, best practices, and visions for the future of electronic design and manufacturing. The Orange County chapter seems to be one of the largest and most active ones and I was invited to attend the latest chapter event on July 24 in Costa Mesa, California.
Target Condition: From Dream House to Drill Files
06/05/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionIf you caught the movie “Barbie,” you may have laughed at its over-the-top utopia where every day begins with perfect weather, perfect smiles, and a perfectly pink commute. But beyond the plastic glam, the film subtly critiques the illusion of perfection—a message that feels surprisingly relevant to the world of PCB design and manufacturing.
Polar Brings New Book 'The PCB Designers Guide to... More Secrets of High Speed PCBs' to EIPC Edinburgh
05/27/2025 | Polar InstrumentsPolar's latest book, The PCB Designer's Guide to... More Secrets of High Speed PCBs, will see its European Launch at the EIPC conference in Edinburgh, June 3-4, 2025. More Secrets unveils more of the knowledge that is often missed from theoretical text books to help both new and experienced designers realize the PCBs they “thought” they had designed.
