Current IssueShowing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.
All About That Route
Most designers favor manual routing, but today's interactive autorouters may be changing designers' minds by allowing users more direct control. In this issue, our expert contributors discuss a variety of manual and autorouting strategies.
Creating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.

IPC to Hold Online Course on Introduction to PCB Design
June 30, 2021 | IPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

IPC will be holding a six-week online program that introduces participants to the concepts and skills required to create real-world designs that comply with IPC standards.
Taught by an IPC-certified industry expert with more than 25 years of experience in the field, the Introduction to PCB Design I will focus on front-end design concepts such as schematic capture, library parts creation, basic electrical engineering concepts, and documentation.
The 12-session course, to start on July 6, will include a final project to deliver a solid foundation in schematic capture, library creation and documentation. IPC also offers a suite of design courses—from fundamental schematic capture to rigid flex boards, to military and aerospace applications. For more information, visit IPC's PCB design training courses.

Beyond Design: Refining Design Constraints
07/17/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignBefore starting any project, it is crucial to develop a thorough plan that encompasses all essential requirements. This ensures that the final product not only aligns with the design concept but is also manufacturable, reliable, and meets performance expectations. High-speed PCB design requires us to not only push technological boundaries but also consider various factors related to higher frequencies, faster transition times, and increased bandwidths during the design process.
