Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Requirements & Systems Portal Application Now Available on the Altium 365 Cloud Platform
September 13, 2024 | AltiumEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Altium, a global leader in electronics design systems, announced today that it has launched the Requirements & Systems Portal Application into the Altium 365 cloud platform for electronics design collaboration. The Requirements & Systems Portal helps to ensure visibility and awareness of functional requirements from concept to manufacturing, improving upon cost, quality, and risk in the product development process.
The launch follows Altium’s acquisition of Valispace earlier this year. Valispace is a game-changing Systems and Requirements Engineering tool that joins system design and requirements engineering with an AI-assisted and data-driven approach.
The electronics design process is disconnected and plagued by rework because the work of PCB design engineers is often disconnected from system requirements. The Requirements & Systems Portal ensures that electrical teams can write, manage, and verify their requirements directly in the Altium 365 ecosystem, allowing team members from different disciplines to view requirements in the context of their designs. When electrical engineers, electrical managers, systems architects and external stakeholders all have access to the same information, everyone on the team knows they are working with the latest values and up-to-date specifications.
The integration of the Requirements & Systems Portal into Altium 365 extends the platform’s capability as an end-to-end development platform and supports Altium’s goal of connecting everyone involved in the electronics development process.
“The Requirements & System Portal on Altium 365 supercharges innovation and accelerates time to market,” said Ananth Avva, VP and GM of Cloud Platform, Digital Industries, at Altium. “By bringing product-level context to the entire electronics design process, engineers can effortlessly ensure requirements are met across applications like supply chain and simulation. This puts systems thinking at the forefront, empowering engineers to thrive in today’s competitive landscape and deliver world-class electronic products.”

New TSN-MACsec IP Core for Secure Data Transmission in 5G/6G Communication Networks
04/15/2025 | FraunhoferReliability and security in broadband communication networks (5G/6G) are crucial for meeting the challenges of the digital future. Together with aconnic AG, Fraunhofer IPMS has developed an innovative IP core as part of the “RealSec5G” project, which combines the advantages of a MACsec IP core with those of a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) IP core.
The Key to First-pass Success in PCB Design
04/10/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectIn the dynamic world of PCB manufacturing, achieving first-pass success hinges on more than just cutting-edge equipment and skilled teams. At Summit Interconnect, we have seen countless successful launches of advanced HDI designs that can be traced directly to engagement between designers and fabricators early in the design phase. Unfortunately, collaboration in the PCB industry often begins only after problems arise—such as field failures, assembly fallout, or low fabrication yields. This reactive approach is the wrong starting point for collaboration.
