Current IssueSilicon 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.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

Alpha Circuit Corporation Opts for Automated G90L Flying Probe Tester from Gardien
February 21, 2024 | Gardien GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Gardien Group is pleased to announce the installation of the Automated G90L Flying Probe Tester at Alpha Circuit Corp.
President and CEO Prashant Patel was quoted as saying, “The addition of the new tester enhances our throughput capability in electrical test. The machine’s high accuracy, coupled with the advanced software enhancements, allow us to test today’s complex PCBs. The new Automated G90L frees up operator time with its ability to be loaded with multiple panels/jobs and left to operate unattended. The large format also allows us to test full production panels utilizing the larger than average test area.”
Gardien's state-of-the-art G90 line of Flying Probe test systems allow for high accuracy, high speed, as well as either standard or custom test areas depending on the required application. When coupled with their FPX advanced test software, the system can adapt to a wide variety of test articles and situations. With options such as 4-Wire Kelvin, Hi-pot, Inductance, and Insulation testing, the G90 line can meet almost any test need, now and into the future. Adding the optional automated load/unload, pass/fail automation provides “Lights Out” solutions for around the clock operations.

Asymmetric Hybrid Printed Circuit Board Design: Warpage Considerations
08/27/2024 | Kaspar Tsang, Gause Hu, Jimmy Hsu, Aje Chang, Alan Sun, Brian Ho, Ryan Chang, and Thonas SuThe printed circuit board (PCB) accounts for a significant portion of the PCBA’s (printed circuit board assembly) BOM (bill of material) cost. Designs with hybrid PCB stackup are adopted to reduce the cost of the PCB by using less expensive laminate materials in layers that do not have routings for high-speed signals (e.g., power and ground layers). The conventional hybrid PCB stackup design is symmetrical in the middle. This engineering technique has been employed in the data center industry for quite some time. To extend the idea and optimize the purpose of hybrid PCB stackup design, the feasibility of an asymmetric hybrid stackup is currently being studied.
