Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

As feature sizes continue to shrink and we see more challenges popping up like thermal, it’s no wonder that physics has become a hot topic in some corners of the design community.
Are today’s PCB designers spending too much time studying Moore’s Law and not enough on Maxwell’s equations? In the November 2022 issue of Design007 Magazine, our experts explain why designers need to understand concepts like field effects as well as circuit theory, and how the disciplines work together symbiotically.

Quiet Power: An Evolution in PCB Design Costs
09/04/2024 | Istvan Novak -- Column: Quiet PowerIn this column, I want to cover my experiences, particularly where costs are concerned, with printed circuit boards from the 1960s to the present day. I grew up in an apartment building in downtown Budapest, where I began doing hobby projects building circuits from our kitchen table. Now, I’m lecturing about the most recent advances in signal integrity at Oxford University. We’ve come a long way. Over the decades, new technologies allowed users to have more layers, lower-loss dielectrics, fine-pitch surface connections, blind and buried vias, and HDI and HDI+ board constructions that allow us to design higher-performing systems. I expect this trend to continue.
LPKF's ProtoLaser H4 – More Functions in a Compact Housing
08/30/2024 | LPKF Laser & ElectronicsThe ProtoLaser H4, with a laser for structuring tasks and additional mechanical tools, is the link between pure laser devices and the mechanical structuring of circuit boards. The latest version makes some processes even more efficient and expands the range of applications.
Logitech Announces Future Positive Technology Challenge Winners

Six companies from around the globe were selected for their trailblazing solutions across printed circuit boards (PCB), batteries, materials, packaging, integrated circuits, and business models.
Navigating Cost Drivers and Sustainability in PCB Production: A Comprehensive Guide
08/22/2024 | Michael Marshall, NCAB GroupIn May, I had the privilege of presenting "Cost Drivers in PCB Production" to attendees at the SMTA Wisconsin Expo. This presentation, one of our most popular, received tremendous feedback, inspiring us to share our insights more broadly through a comprehensive white paper on the subject. One of my favorite examples to share from this white paper which really illustrates the impact of both cost and sustainability is panel utilization.
