Ventec’s Book on Thermal Management: The Summer Sequel You’ve Been Waiting For
The I-Connect007 eBooks have been moving like hotcakes, and Ventec’s 2022 offering got a lot of eyeballs on the page. Co-written by Ventec’s Didier Mauve and Robert Art, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Thermal Management with Insulated Metal Substrate, Volume 2 was the second in the series, and PCB designers snapped it up. This article about the book launch was the most-read Design007 article of the year.
High-Voltage Circuit Design Guidelines and Materials
More of our readers seem to be entering the high-voltage arena lately, and this article by Celso Faia and Davi Correia of Cadence Design Systems rode a voltage spike into our top five. As they point out, a lot of high-voltage issues can be precluded early in the design cycle—if you know what you’re doing. Check it out.
Flexible Hybrid Electronics Design: Reducing Time to Market
Flex and rigid-flex design has been a hot topic for a few years, and Sean Nachnani’s article on flexible hybrid design flexed its biceps all the way into our five most-read items. NextFlex is leading much of the research in this space, and they’ve published a variety of articles this year. As we’ve seen, many of our readers are being forced into flex for one reason or another, and flex hybrids are making inroads into this segment now.
Kris Moyer Discusses New IPC Role
There’s an old saying in business-to-business publishing: People like reading about other people, and it shows. Our interview with IPC design instructor Kris Moyer was the most popular PCB design interview of 2022. More young people are entering this segment, and designers and design engineers are yearning for cutting-edge design education.
Altium Focusing on Educating Designers of Today and Tomorrow
Altium has been working with the educational community for years, providing EDA software to universities and holding educational events such as AltiumLive and Altium Education. This interview with Altium VP of Education Rea Callender and consultant Zach Peterson shot up into our most-read earlier this year. Education may be the hottest of the hot topics in PCB design now.
