Current IssueMechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.
Creating a Culture of Collaboration
PCB designers could learn quite a bit from NASA and the private companies that develop spacecraft: Every one of these vehicles is a testament to the value of collaboration among disparate stakeholders. Without a collaborative culture, the rocket might never get off the ground.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints
Do you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems. Learn more in this issue.

IPC Technical Education Focuses on Best Practices in Design
July 12, 2017 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
IPC—The Association Connecting Electronics Industries will be holding a two-day, design-focused IPC professional development courses on July 26–27, 2017, in Chicago, Illinois.
Day 1 will focus on EMI control, including grounding, power distribution, and board stack-up, among others, and will be led by Rick Hartley. This workshop is all about up-front design. Getting the design right to prevent having to throw costly band-aids on the product to stop the hemorrhaging of electric and magnetic fields. The knowledge gained from this workshop can significantly reduce product development time and cost, as well as improve product performance.
The next day’s course will be on design challenges, including fine pitch BGA design, and best design practices to produce a more manufacturable board. To be given by Susy Webb, the first section of this two-in-one class utilizes illustrations and real-world examples to explore the complexities of using fine pitch BGAs in designs. The second section of this class discusses best practices that, when incorporated by the designer, will help make fabrication and assembly easier and therefore lower the time and cost needed for a quality board.
