The Pulse: Commonsense Cost Cutting
08/29/2024 | Martyn Gaudion -- Column: The PulseOne difference between engineering and pure science is that engineers (in most situations) are looking for cost-effectiveness. They do so by designing the most appropriate level of technology to maximize profitability with acceptable levels of application functionality. One area that is often overlooked is the energy cost of PCB production. At a recent EIPC conference, Dr. Maarten Cauwe of IMEC in Belgium presented a combined study of the lifecycle impact (LCI) of electronics systems and subassemblies. The study looked at the supply chain as well as the energy impact of HDIs.
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Debunking Misconceptions in PCB Design
08/22/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonPCB design can be likened to the poem, “The Blind Man and the Elephant” by John Godfrey Saxe. In the poem, six blind men of Indostan “to learning much inclined,” went to see the elephant “that each by observation, might satisfy the mind.” The first man fell against the elephant and concluded it was like touching a wall. The second man felt the elephant’s tusk and exclaimed, "It is very like a spear." The third blind man, feeling the vast and squirming trunk, decided it was a snake. The fourth man felt the elephant's leg and said the elephant “is very like a tree." The fifth man touched the massive ears and decided an elephant is very like a fan. Finally, the sixth blind man, feeling the elephant’s swinging tail, proudly proclaimed, "I see, the elephant is very like a rope."
