Current IssueRigid-flex: Designing in 3D
In this month’s issue, our expert contributors share their best tips, tricks and techniques for designing rigid-flex circuits. If you’re a rigid board designer considering moving into the 3D world of rigid-flex, this issue is just what the doctor ordered!
Simulation, Analysis, and AI
Getting today’s designs “right the first time” is critical, especially with costly advanced PCBs. Simulation and analysis software tools can help you in the fight to eliminate respins. They’re not magical, but they can predict the future of your design.
Advanced, Complex & Emerging Designs
This month, our contributors focus on designing PCBs with advanced, complex and emerging technologies. We investigate design strategies for boards that are on the cutting edge of technology, or crazily complex, or so new that designers are still writing the rules as they go.

Siemens Video Presentation: PCB Design Best Practices
March 30, 2023 | Siemens EDAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

In this 18-minute Siemens video presentation, PCB design expert and instructor Steph Chavez breaks down the importance of PCB design best practices that can enable engineering productivity and efficiency in the PCB design process.
These best practices include design automation, concurrent design, design reuse, constraint-driven design, component groups, sketch routing, and advanced designs, including rigid-flex and HDI. Steph also discusses the advantage design teams can gain by working in parallel instead of serially.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
09/22/2023 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007This week has been chock full of news about upcoming trade shows and conferences. Clearly, the season is upon us. This week, I-Connect007 reported on PCB West in Santa Clara (often referred to as the show which kicks off trade show season) and the topic of artificial intelligence was everywhere. By the looks of it, not just at the conference, either. For months now, the mainstream media has been gobbling up all sorts of news about generative AI engines, painting the picture that we’ll all lose our jobs to these tools, while also reporting on situations where the results from AI have gotten progressively worse over time.

Connect the Dots: Best Practices for Prototyping
09/21/2023 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsPCB prototyping is a critical juncture during an electronic device’s journey from concept to reality. Regardless of a project’s complexity, the process of transforming a design into a working board is often enlightening in terms of how a design can be improved before a PCB is ready for full production.
