Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules 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.

EMA Design Automation Announces Unprecedented OrCAD Offer for Innovators
January 13, 2016 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
EMA Design Automation, a full-service provider of EDA solutions, has announced a North American promotion aimed at IoT, Maker and other innovators to realize their creativity with industry proven Cadence OrCAD Capture technology.
“OrCAD Capture is the de facto industry standard schematic capture product in the business,” said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA Design Automation. “In today’s economy there are many innovators in large and small companies that want to bring their ideas to life as products, but might not have the budget for the best tools and are forced to use mediocre tools because of the cost. We want to fix this situation.”
Typically, throughout the EDA industry, the initial purchase of any product includes software cost and a one-year maintenance cost. To address the needs of the innovator, EMA is offering Cadence OrCAD Capture for only the cost of maintenance.
Many startups and companies with reduced budgets are forced to use tools that do not enable their future needs. When the innovator’s needs surpass the tool capabilities, like not being supported by a component vendor for a reference design, or failing to grow with the company’s increasing technology needs, the cost of ownership skyrockets as the tools impact user productivity. When designers start with OrCAD Capture, they do not experience these problems. OrCAD with Allegro® technology provides the only fully scalable PCB design solution and is used by companies of all sizes creating designs of all complexities.
Along with access to the industry leading OrCAD Capture software this offer provides additional service and support benefits that are not available with traditional free / low-cost options. This helps innovators rest assured that when deadlines are looming or they need assistance, the PCB design experts at EMA will be available to provide support and answer questions quickly.

The Shaughnessy Report: A Stack of Advanced Packaging Info
12/10/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s only fitting that this issue on advanced packaging and stackup features a “stackup” of “packages” on the cover. There’s certainly a lot to “unpack” in this issue. As advanced packaging moves further into the mainstream of PCB design, more PCB designers and design engineers are realizing this isn’t a plug-and-play technology. As we see in this issue, advanced packaging can have an impact on the entire design—the stackup in particular.

If You Can Define It Right, You Can Design It Right
12/05/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007Design engineer Chris Young is known for his optimized design process. As lead hardware engineer with Moog Space and Defense Group and owner of Young Engineering Services, Chris collects data like it’s going out of style, and he leaves nothing to chance. With that in mind, I asked Chris to discuss his views on rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided, and how rules fit ideally into the PCB design process.
