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.

PADS Webinar: Simulate and Optimize Analog, Mixed-Signal Circuit Design
July 27, 2016 | Mentor GraphicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Taking a product design from concept to creation can be a complicated process of decisions and tradeoffs. Attention to every detail is required, particularly for the analog, mixed-signal portions of your design.
This webinar will introduce designers to the PADS AMS Design Suite, a complete design capture solution and analog, mixed-signal (AMS) virtual prototyping environment. With this suite, you will be able to create electronic product designs faster and easier while ensuring design intent, performance, and reliability.
What Attendees Will Learn
- Types of circuit simulation and analysis for behavioral verification, scenario exploration, and component optimization
- The power and flexibility of VHDL-AMS and SPICE-based simulation and modeling to accurately represent both a circuit’s electronic and electromechanical elements
- How to balance component costs with tight tolerances against their impact on circuit and manufacturing performance
- How to use a waveform analysis tool and expression calculator for in-depth analysis, measurement, and transformation of simulation data
- The use of the PADS AMS Design Suite for design, simulation, and analysis of analog, mixed-signal (AMS) circuits
About the Presenter
Josh Moore is a business development and product manager for Mentor Graphics specializing in new business development. He is responsible for strategic partnerships to establish and develop new market opportunities as well as product management for the PADS circuit simulation solutions.

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.

Advanced Packaging and Stackup Design: December 2024—Design007 Magazine
12/09/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamIn this month's issue,, we asked our expert contributors to 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 the arena of HDI and UHDI. And with a little research, planning, and collaboration with the fabricator, any seasoned PCB designer can utilize advanced packaging.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/06/2024 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007This week’s must-reads include a discussion on innovation and embedded components within the layers of a PCB with Accurate Circuit Engineering. We revisit the real cost to manufacture in a case study on how a seemingly small design error can have a dramatic effect on your end customer’s costs. Dan Beaulieu provides this month’s book review highlighting the criticality of fostering creativity in the workplace. Bert Horner of The Test Connection discusses his decision to launch a new, complimentary business venture, The Training Connection; and Ramon Roche of NCAB talks about electric vehicle charging.
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.
