Current IssuePartial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.
Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.

December 2023 Design007 Magazine — The Odd Geometries Issue
December 11, 2023 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Feast your eyes on the December 2023 issue of Design007 Magazine!
Odd Geometries
Remember when PCBs were all shaped like squares and rectangles? Things were so much simpler in the olden days. Now boards are designed, fabricated and assembled in all shapes, including stars, human hands, octopuses, triangles, and cursive signatures, just to name a few. And the wearables and automotive segments are driving the development of PCBs in odd shapes.
In this issue of Design007 Magazine, we discuss some of the challenges, pitfalls and mitigations to consider when designing non-standard board geometries. We will share strategies for designing odd-shaped PCBs, including manufacturing trade-offs and considerations required for different segments and perspectives.

CHIPS Act Falls Short Without Focus on Workforce Training
10/02/2024 | David Hernandez, VP of Education, IPCBillions of dollars of funding from the CHIPS and Science Act are going to the construction of new semiconductor fabrication plants (“fabs”). However, that investment will fail to meet its full potential unless we also focus on building something equally important: talent pipelines for the entire electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
