EMA Design Automation Webinar Addresses Testing Challenges in PCB Design
July 17, 2020 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
EMA Design Automation is offering a free webinar titled “What PCB Design Engineers Need to Know,” on Wednesday, July 29th from 2-3:00 p.m. EDT.
This webinar will focus on the importance of ensuring your PCB design is optimized for testing and how to implement testing capabilities during the schematic and layout phase to avoid testing challenges after the board has been manufactured.
Attendees will learn:
- The importance of incorporating testing needs into your PCB design
- What should be tested within your design and why to avoid shorts, bad parts, invisible parts etc.
- Common test challenges and misconceptions
- Tips and tricks on how to implement these test needs
To register for the webinar, please visit this link.

Elementary Mr. Watson: Ensuring a Smooth Handoff From PCB Design to Fabrication
03/13/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonAt the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, the U.S. men's 4x100-meter relay team had high hopes of winning a medal. The team comprised some of the fastest sprinters in the world, but something went wrong. In a relay, four runners must smoothly pass their baton to the next runner inside a zone on the track. If a runner drops the baton or it’s passed outside the zone, the team risks disqualification. The U.S. team’s pass between the second and third runner was messy, slowing them down. By the time the last runner received the baton, the team had lost too much time. They finished sixth in their heat and didn’t qualify for the final.

TI Introduces the World's Smallest MCU, Enabling Innovation in the Tiniest of Applications
03/12/2025 | PRNewswireTexas Instruments (TI) introduced the world's smallest MCU, expanding its comprehensive Arm® Cortex®-M0+ MSPM0 MCU portfolio. Measuring only 1.38mm2, about the size of a black pepper flake, the wafer chip-scale package (WCSP) for the MSPM0C1104 MCU enables designers to optimize board space in applications such as medical wearables and personal electronics, without compromising performance.
Speaking the Same Language as Your Fabricator
03/12/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineWe do indeed have a failure to communicate; designers and fabricators often seem to be talking past each other, which can lead to jobs being put on hold. We asked Jen Kolar, VP of engineering for Monsoon Solutions, and columnist Kelly Dack to share their thoughts on ways that we can break down the communication barrier between design and fabrication. As they point out, a design kickoff checklist and a solid review process can be invaluable tools in a designer’s toolbox.
