Beyond Design: The Fundamental Structure of Spectral Integrity
10/21/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignImpedance can be characterized in both the time and frequency domains. In the time domain, it influences how electromagnetic energy propagates through interconnects, affecting signal integrity and waveform fidelity. In the frequency domain, AC impedance determines how well the network can suppress noise and deliver clean power at a range of frequencies. AC impedance shapes how power rails respond to transient loads.
Light-curable Solutions for Reliable Electronics in Space Applications
10/15/2025 | Virginia Hogan, DymaxDesigning electronics for space environments, particularly those in low Earth orbit (LEO), requires careful consideration of materials that can withstand extreme conditions while supporting long-term reliability. Engineers designing satellite systems, aerospace instrumentation, and high-altitude platforms face a familiar set of challenges: contamination control, mechanical stress, thermal cycling, and manufacturability.
Is Glass Finally Coming of Age?
10/13/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Substrates, by definition, form the base of all electronic devices. Whether discussing silicon wafers for semiconductors, glass-and-epoxy materials in printed circuits, or the base of choice for interposers, all these materials function as substrates. While other substrates have come and gone, silicon and FR-4 have remained the de facto standards for the industry.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding Your Fabricator’s Capabilities (or Niche)
10/08/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsNot every PCB fabricator is a good fit for every design. This is something many seasoned OEMs and greenhorn designers learn the hard way. The industry is full of talented board shops: global giants, regional specialists, niche fabricators, and everything in between. But even the best shop can fail a job if it's not the right fit for that specific board, volume, or customer requirement.
