Call-for-Participation Webinar Board-Level Optical Interconnect Performance in Immersion-Cooled Environments
April 24, 2023 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Join us April 25 to learn about iNEMI’s new Board-Level Optical Interconnect Performance in Immersion-Cooled Environments project. Immersion cooling is gaining traction as a means of disruptive thermal management in high-performance computing and data centers; however, there is insufficient understanding of how optical interconnect components will perform in immersion-cooled environments. This issue affects OEMs and companies involved with photonics integration, mid-board optics and co-packaged optics.
The objectives of this new project are to:
Investigate and evaluate different on-board optical components and interconnect solutions in different immersion-cooled environments including single phase and dual phase.
Understand how design factors of interconnect components affect performance in an immersion environment.

Smart Automation: Odd-form Assembly—Dedicated Insertion Equipment Matters
09/09/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationLarge, irregular, or mechanically unique parts, often referred to as odd-form components, have never truly disappeared from electronics manufacturing. While many in the industry have been pursuing miniaturization, faster placement speeds, and higher-density PCBs, certain market sectors are moving in the opposite direction.
Talking with Tamara: Floor Planning Policies
09/04/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineTamara Jovanovic is an electrical engineer with Masimo, a medical equipment manufacturer. She’s been designing PCBs for seven years and earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering in 2022. I asked Tamara to share her thoughts on floor planning—the challenges, techniques, and advice for designers setting up floor planning strategies.

Connect the Dots: How to Avoid Five Common Causes of Board Failure
09/04/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsBoards fail for various reasons, and because I’ve been part of the PCB industry for a long time, I’ve seen most of the reasons for failure. As part of my ongoing crusade to help designers design for the reality of manufacturing, here are five common causes for board failure and how to avoid them.
Mastering PCB Floor Planning
08/28/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPlacement of PCB components is far more than just fitting components onto a board. It’s a strategic and critical foundational step, often called “floor planning,” that profoundly impacts the board’s performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Floor planning ties into the solvability perspective, with performance and manufacturability being the other two competing perspectives for addressing and achieving success in PCB design.
