I-Connect007 Releases The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... More Secrets of High-Speed PCBs by Martyn Gaudion
January 29, 2025 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
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.

EDA Tools and RF Design Techniques
04/14/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineHigh-speed PCB design is complex enough, but RF design can be a whole new ball game. RF designers have to contend with tuning and other ideas that traditional PCB designers don’t have to worry about, as well as crosstalk, parasitic capacitance, and material limitations. Most PCB design tool companies now offer RF design options, so designers no longer have to use pureplay RF design tools for anything but the most cutting-edge designs. Cadence Design Systems expanded its RF EDA offerings by acquiring the RF software company AWR a few years ago. We asked David Vye, product management director at Cadence, to share his thoughts on EDA software, RF design, and what new RF designers and engineers need to understand.
Avnet Technology Links STMicroelectronics’ STM32 Microcontrollers

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.
