Current IssueRules 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.
Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.

PCB Makers Bracing for Opportunities from Foldable Smartphones
February 28, 2019 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Foldable smartphones are gradually emerging as a new handset trend, promoting Taiwan PCB makers to make preparations for cashing in on the consequent market demand, according to a Digitimes report.
Smartphone vendors such as Samsung Electronics, Huawei, Oppo and TCL are releasing their respective foldable models, and their PCB supply partners in Taiwan are moving to re-design PCB layouts based on possible changes in internal specs of the new models and expect their average unit prices to pick up as a result. Diverse PCBs including flexible boards, rigid-flex boards, HDI (high density interconnect) boards and SLP (substrate-like PCBs) are all applicable to foldable smartphones, and therefore technologically-leading PCB makers in Taiwan can still maintain their leadership in the foldable handset application market.
