Quiet Power: An Evolution in PCB Design Costs
09/04/2024 | Istvan Novak -- Column: Quiet PowerIn this column, I want to cover my experiences, particularly where costs are concerned, with printed circuit boards from the 1960s to the present day. I grew up in an apartment building in downtown Budapest, where I began doing hobby projects building circuits from our kitchen table. Now, I’m lecturing about the most recent advances in signal integrity at Oxford University. We’ve come a long way. Over the decades, new technologies allowed users to have more layers, lower-loss dielectrics, fine-pitch surface connections, blind and buried vias, and HDI and HDI+ board constructions that allow us to design higher-performing systems. I expect this trend to continue.

Navigating Cost Drivers and Sustainability in PCB Production: A Comprehensive Guide
08/22/2024 | Michael Marshall, NCAB GroupIn May, I had the privilege of presenting "Cost Drivers in PCB Production" to attendees at the SMTA Wisconsin Expo. This presentation, one of our most popular, received tremendous feedback, inspiring us to share our insights more broadly through a comprehensive white paper on the subject. One of my favorite examples to share from this white paper which really illustrates the impact of both cost and sustainability is panel utilization.
