September 15, 2023 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
It’s been a hot week in Atlanta. The Braves just clinched the division title with the best record in the league, 95-50, and Matt Olson tied the Braves’ franchise record with 51 home runs in one season (more than Hank Aaron ever hit in one year, if you’re a baseball history buff).
We’ve had a hot week in this industry too. In my picks for this week, we introduce a new SMT007 columnist, and we have a look at the CHIPS Act one year later. We have a great article about sourcing diversification, and a look at the latest electronics news coming out of India. And columnist Vern Solberg explains DFM best practices for flexible circuits.
