Embedded Design Techniques
Prepare to delve deeply into our latest issue of Design007 Magazine!
We’re always hearing about PCB technology running into a wall. On the design side, Moore’s Law hit one such wall. On the fab side, features are now so tiny that the traditional subtractive methods have hit another type of wall. Similarly, the popularity of embedded components is the result of technology hitting a wall, or a series of walls. If your board’s skyline faces height limitations, and/or if reliability is paramount, embedding components into the layers of the PCB is a great way to go.
In this issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors lay down the foundation of knowledge that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design. They discuss the many design and manufacturing hurdles that can trip up designers who are new to this technology while providing an array of solutions. Read what IPC's Kris Moyer had to say on this subject in 'Every Designer Needs to Understand Embedded'.
You will want to keep a copy of this one in your library for future reference.

Mustaches and Automation in Flexible PCB Fabrication
06/24/2024 | Chris Clark, Flexible Circuit TechnologiesIn any manufactured product, whether a house or a flexible circuit, there is always a raw material component in the overall cost. In the flexible circuit, flexible heater, and rigid-flex industry, sheet materials can account for 20–60% of the overall price. Admittedly, this is a very broad range, but factors, such as how common the materials are in the region where they are made, can cause this to swing one way or the other. Your actions as an engineer or sourcing agent have an impact on overall cost, which I’ll illustrate through the example of building a house.
The Shaughnessy Report: In Bed With Embedded
02/12/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportWe’re always hearing about PCB technology running into a wall. On the design side, Moore’s Law hit one such wall. On the fab side, features are now so tiny that the traditional subtractive methods have hit another type of wall. And we see OEMs who never planned to use flexible circuits wind up embracing them, because rigid boards just won’t fit into a new product’s form factor. In the February 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors lay down the foundation of knowledge that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design.
