Current IssueLearning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?
The Designer of the Future
Our expert contributors peer into their crystal balls and offer their thoughts on the designers and design engineers of tomorrow, and what their jobs will look like.

Sunstone Circuits Launches Customer Case Studies
November 4, 2015 | Sunstone CircuitsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Sunstone Circuits has recently launched the latest in a series of Customer Case Studies. Find out how Sunstone helped Gentec-EO to be first to market with robust, innovative new products.
"Without Sunstone, I don't know if we could cost-effectively produce the boards we need fast enough to maintain production schedules," said customer Sid Levingston. To read the case study, click here.
Sunstone will also be exhibiting, along with sister company, 3D Fixtures, at Printed Electronics USA 2015. Visit booth #H13 and #H15 to find out how 3D printing can improve prototyping processes.

Managing Energy Flow with Proper Stackup Design
02/13/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007At Design Con 2025, I had the opportunity to speak with Dan Beeker, technical director at NXP Semiconductor, about his technical session, which focused on optimizing PCB layers to best direct signal and power supply energy between these layers. In this interview, Dan discusses the complexities of board stackup and the significance of understanding dielectric layers for effective signal transmission. Dan is something of a “fields evangelist,” spreading the word about the need for designers to focus on fields, not just circuit theory. Toward the end, Dan summed up much of the design segment: Designing something that didn't make it break is not the same thing as designing it correctly.

Designers Notebook: Addressing Future Challenges for Designers
02/06/2025 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board is and will probably continue to be the base platform for most electronics. With the proliferation of new generations of high I/O, fine-pitch surface mount semiconductor package variations, circuit interconnect is an insignificant factor. Circuit board designers continually face challenges such as component quantity and complexity, limited surface area, and meeting the circuit board’s cost target. The printed circuit design engineer’s prominent position demands the development of efficiently manufacturable products that perform without compromise.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Surface Finish
01/29/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we discussed the solder mask and legend process, one of the final steps in the PCB manufacturing process. The board is nearly complete. We just need to wrap up production by applying a surface finish to protect the copper from oxidation and facilitate soldering components onto the board.
