Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

Artificial Machines Standardizes on Mentor EDA Solutions to Develop Smart Machine IP
August 3, 2017 | Mentor GraphicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced that Artificial Machines, a leading smart machine design company that empowers its customers with cutting-edge SMART machine intellectual property, has standardized on Mentor electronic design automation (EDA) design solutions. The competitive replacement includes leading-edge Mentor solutions such as Xpedition printed circuit board (PCB) design, Hyperlynx simulation, Valor manufacturing validation and ASIC chip design tools. The Mentor portfolio provides Artificial Machines with an end-to-end electronic product design pipeline for its HAZE platform, and represents a significant infrastructure advance for the Artificial Machines design team.
Artificial Machines (AM) is a technology company working with some of the world’s largest consumer electronics and automotive companies. As a result of this technology partnership with Mentor, AM will benefit from a comprehensive product design process. AM will now be able to develop products from the simplest electronics to the most advanced Android systems using Mentor solutions, and Mentor tools will play a critical role in the design infrastructure of India’s SMART machine industry.
“We have an excellent track record of investing in startups at an early stage and growing along with them to achieve mutual success. We are certain that the synergetic technology partnership with Artificial Machines will foster the growth of companies in the design world ecosystem in India,” said Raghu Panicker, Country Sales Director, Mentor India. “We are confident that Artificial Machines’ choice of Mentor’s leading-edge EDA design solutions will not only accelerate their growth and market reach, but have a positive impact on the region’s SMART machine design industry.”
“We are excited to work with Mentor. Their commitment to make us one of the most comprehensive electronic product design companies in the world is greatly appreciated,” said Manish Buttan, CEO and founder, Artificial Machines. “Compared to a typical PCB design company, which uses just a few tools, Artificial Machines will now have the most comprehensive and high-end design tools, and our HAZE Customers will now enjoy Tier 1 tools for all their consumer electronics and automotive products.”

The Shaughnessy Report: A Stack of Advanced Packaging Info
12/10/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s only fitting that this issue on advanced packaging and stackup features a “stackup” of “packages” on the cover. There’s certainly a lot to “unpack” in this issue. As advanced packaging moves further into the mainstream of PCB design, more PCB designers and design engineers are realizing this isn’t a plug-and-play technology. As we see in this issue, advanced packaging can have an impact on the entire design—the stackup in particular.

If You Can Define It Right, You Can Design It Right
12/05/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007Design engineer Chris Young is known for his optimized design process. As lead hardware engineer with Moog Space and Defense Group and owner of Young Engineering Services, Chris collects data like it’s going out of style, and he leaves nothing to chance. With that in mind, I asked Chris to discuss his views on rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided, and how rules fit ideally into the PCB design process.
