The Shaughnessy Report: A Plan for Floor Planning
08/11/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportMost of the time, we cover topics that designers say are giving them trouble. But designers don’t usually cite floor planning as one of their bigger challenges. No, it’s the fabricators who say that floor planning is an ongoing problem for their designer brethren, usually after having to put yet another job on hold.

Getting Our ‘Fil’ of Design Constraint Techniques
08/07/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineFilbert Arzola is a principal electrical engineer at Raytheon SAS and an instructor who teaches one of the few classes (that I know of) that focuses on setting design constraints. I asked Fil to share his thoughts on design constraints: the factors involved, the various trade-offs, and his best practices for optimizing constraints for your particular design. As Fil says, “Everything about a PCB is a constraint.”
