Next Week: App Note Analysis With Design007 Magazine
June 1, 2020 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Opinions about app notes are like through-holes: If you’re a PCB designer or design engineer, odds are that you have one. Are they handy tools for a designer’s toolkit, or overly optimistic marketing materials that should be assumed wrong until proven right?
In the June issue of Design007 Magazine, we talk to experts on both sides of the issue: Rick Hartley, Dan Beeker, Max Maxfield, Istvan Novak, Geof Lipman, Martyn Gaudion, Kelly Dack, and John Coonrod.
We also bring you columns by regular contributors Barry Olney, Joe Fjelstad, Dominique Numakura, Jade Bridges, and Bob Tise and Matt Stevenson. And this month, we bring you an interview with Pallav Argawal, an embedded systems and PCB designer based in Bangalore, India, who describes his journey from electronics hobbyist and tinkerer to degreed engineer with customers around the globe.

Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.
