Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
Traditionally, most designers of PCBs and ICs have operated in separate silos, unaware of much of what is happening just upstream or downstream. IC designers did their thing and PCB designers did theirs, and everything worked—until recently, that is.
Now, the increase in complexity in electronics is driving technologists throughout the electronics supply chain to adopt a “silicon to systems” outlook. Advanced packaging systems are causing PCB designers problems with signal integrity, power delivery requirements, and thermal issues.
This month, in the September 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, 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.

Silicon to Systems: A Wake-up Call for the Industry
09/26/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineDuane Benson, founder of Positive Edge, has been working with silicon and packaging for longer than some of our newer readers have been alive. We asked him to share his thoughts on silicon to systems, which Duane says is much more than a buzzword—it’s a wake-up call for the industry.
Cross-domain Design: The Key to Managing Complex Methodologies
09/23/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineFor years, Cadence Design Systems has been developing EDA tools that enable the design of ICs and PCBs. Now, as systems continually become more complex, the lines are blurring between these disciplines, and EDA companies are providing designers of PCBs and ICs the ability to understand what’s happening upstream and downstream. We asked John Park, product management group director for advanced IC packaging at Cadence, to discuss this ongoing convergence of domains, as well as what it all means to designers and design engineers.

Hidden Cost Drivers in PCB Design
09/05/2024 | Cherie Litson, CID+, Litson1 ConsultingI recently taught a CID+ course, and if you’ve ever taken a CID or CID+ course, you know that we discuss cost adders quite a bit. When I asked the class of 15 design engineers their ideas on the biggest cost adders, the first and strongest response: the project manager. Are you surprised by their answer? After over 40 years in the industry, I wasn’t. If you step back and look at the process of product development, you’ll see that many decisions that affect costs down the line really do take root with the project manager.
