Current IssueRules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.
Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, 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.

Polar Instruments: Si and Speedstack Projects Now Shipping
July 27, 2015 | Polar InstrumentsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Polar Instruments is delighted to announce that Projects option is now available in Speedstack PCB, Speedstack Si, Si8000m and Si9000e layer stackup, impedance & insertion loss design tools. Projects allows groups of structures to be saved and recalled in Si8000m and Si9000e and entire stackups of structures to be pasted from Speedstack into Si8000m and Si9000e with just a few clicks of the mouse.
As a reminder of the projects' capabilities, click here.
Projects is a cost option – however existing customers may upgrade to benefit from Projects capability at no cost as a concession provided Polarcare remains active.
One last note – the 2015 releases of Si8000m and Si9000e also add a “copy structure parameters” – This lets you copy all the relevant geometric structure information from for example a coated to an uncoated structure – or a single ended to a differential pair – it offers significant time savings when making comparisons.

Process Yield Statistics and Distributions
11/25/2024 | Dr. Pat Valentine, UyemuraThe costs of poor quality include all expenses incurred for not making or providing a perfect product the first time, including scrap, rework, re-purchasing raw materials, labor, and inventory. Companies operating at a three-sigma quality level can spend about 25% of their annual sales remediating poor quality costs. Other estimates put the costs of poor quality in the range of 25–40%. Poor quality can destroy a company.
PCB007 Magazine: November 2024—Engineering Economics
11/18/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamThe real cost to manufacture a PCB encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. A hard look at real costs seems wholly appropriate.
Marcy's Musings: Engineering Economics
11/19/2024 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsThe real cost to manufacture a PCB, sometimes referred to as the "loaded cost," encompasses everything that goes into making the product: the materials and other value-added supplies, machine and personnel costs, and most importantly, your quality. Happy Holden calls it "Engineering Economics," and dedicated a chapter in his book, 24 Essential Skills for Engineers, to the subject.
