Elementary, Mr. Watson: The Four Horsemen of Copper Confusion
11/12/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonIf there were a PCB Design Dictionary of Confusing Terms, the cover would feature four words that have baffled generations of engineers: polygons, pours, planes, and floods—or what I refer to as the four horsemen of copper confusion. They sound simple, as if they belong in a geometry textbook or a weather report, but in PCB design, they overlap, develop, and sound interchangeable until you realize they aren't.
Alpha Insights, Performance by Design: Understanding Heat at the Core of Every Design
11/11/2025 | Team Alpha -- Column: Alpha Insights: Performance by DesignPower isn’t just about current. It’s about control. As electronic systems grow smaller and faster, every amp and every layer generates a new source of heat. That heat is more than a byproduct. It’s a measure of efficiency, a benchmark of performance, and often the first indication of failure.
The Shaughnessy Report: Zee Plane! Zee Plane!
11/11/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportPlanes aren’t magic, but they are big time-savers. Without planes, designers would have to create thousands of traces to accomplish the same objectives. You can imagine the first time a designer thought about using a sheet of copper, asking, “Hey, why am I killing myself laying out all these traces? Can’t I just use this sheet of copper instead?”
November 2025 Design007 Magazine: Proper Plane Design
11/10/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWithout planes, designers would have to create thousands of traces to accomplish the same objectives. Power planes provide low impedance and stable power to every component on the board, much like a large power bus. Ground planes stabilize reference voltage, improve thermal performance, and help preclude EMI issues. Power and ground plane design is often a battle of tradeoffs.
