Elementary Mr. Watson: Retro Routers vs. Modern Boards—The Silent Struggle on Your Screen
06/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonThere's a story about a young woman preparing a holiday ham. Before putting it in the pan, she cuts off the ends. When asked why, she shrugs and says, "That's how my mom always did it." She asks her mother, who gives the same answer. Eventually, the question reaches Grandma, who laughs and says, "Oh, I only cut the ends off because my pan was too small." This story is a powerful analogy for how many PCB designers approach routing today.

Defining the Ideal PCB Design Data Output
05/27/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAAt the heart of delivering successful, manufacturable printed circuit boards lies a vital question: What should your design data output package include to best support manufacturing? The answer: It depends. There are many factors to consider regarding the specific category you’re designing for—such as mil/aero, space, medical, and commercial. Other factors that need to be considered are requirements and engineering intent.
