Beyond Design: Micro-ohm Power Delivery Network for AI-driven GPUs
11/18/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignThe evolution of modern processors, marked by faster edge transitions, reduced output impedance, and increasingly complex bus architectures, has significantly augmented the demands on PCB infrastructure. These challenges are compounded by AI-driven graphics processing units (GPUs), which require exceptionally high-power delivery at ultra-low operating voltages, placing greater stress on power integrity and layout design.
Life Is a Highway: A Family of 8 Turned the Entire U.S. Into a Learning and Working Environment
11/04/2025 | Steven Bowles, Lockheed MartinIt’s 6:45 a.m. in a modern A-frame cabin tucked into the misty edges of the Cascade Range in Arlington, Washington. I’ve just made a quick Nespresso, checked my calendar of virtual meetings, and verified the Airbnb’s Wi-Fi speed is holding steady. In the next room, my wife Lynsey corrals our six kids into breakfast while planning a day trip to Seattle’s Children’s Museum. By 7:30, I’m camera-ready in a makeshift office nook, leading a discussion on HDI PCB design for an IPC standards committee. After a busy day, our Bowles crew, ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old, is hands-on with activities and exhibits in the museum.
Standard of Excellence: Speed vs. Quality in Customer Service
10/29/2025 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceThe key to a company’s success is excellent customer service. In our industry, with tight deadlines, high expectations, and particularly where customers demand immediate responses, there’s a challenging balancing act between speed and quality. PCB companies—like all businesses serving demanding B2B clients in aerospace, defense, medical, and high-reliability markets—often feel caught between responding quickly and providing accurate, helpful, and meaningful information.
