I-Connect007 is proud to announce the release of The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... More Secrets of High-Speed PCBs, authored by Martyn Gaudion of Polar Instruments. This invaluable resource offers essential insights for anyone involved in the design, procurement, or fabrication of high-speed impedance or insertion loss-controlled PCBs, as well as complex HDI PCBs requiring precise documentation.
A new addition to the acclaimed Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… series, this book builds on the principles introduced in Secrets of High-Speed PCBs, Parts 1 and 2. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges in transitioning designs from CAD/CAM systems to real-world manufacturing, where materials, processes, and tolerances often defy idealized specifications.
Key topics covered include:
- Strategies for bridging the gap between design precision and manufacturing realities.
- Best practices for documentation to ensure seamless PCB fabrication.
- Methods to improve signal integrity through precise measurement and modeling.
Written for PCB designers, engineers, and procurement teams, this guide emphasizes how to transition quality designs from prototype to production while maintaining the highest signal integrity standards. With Gaudion’s expertise and practical advice, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between design specifications and the complex realities of manufacturing processes.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I’ve spent my week recovering from a busy and interesting week in Anaheim for the 25th IPC APEX EXPO. I think back to my first APEX EXPO, and the changes since then are too numerous to count. I first attended in 2004, also in Anaheim, back when there was almost no design content in the conference or expo portions of the show. It was just a few years after the downturn, and attendees and exhibitors alike were skittish, almost afraid to show confidence in our industry. A few unemployed design friends handed out copies of their resumes. Travel budgets were still down, and the aisles weren’t exactly packed with traffic.
