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.

Polar Instruments: Si and Speedstack Projects Now Shipping
July 27, 2015 | Polar InstrumentsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Polar Instruments is delighted to announce that Projects option is now available in Speedstack PCB, Speedstack Si, Si8000m and Si9000e layer stackup, impedance & insertion loss design tools. Projects allows groups of structures to be saved and recalled in Si8000m and Si9000e and entire stackups of structures to be pasted from Speedstack into Si8000m and Si9000e with just a few clicks of the mouse.
As a reminder of the projects' capabilities, click here.
Projects is a cost option – however existing customers may upgrade to benefit from Projects capability at no cost as a concession provided Polarcare remains active.
One last note – the 2015 releases of Si8000m and Si9000e also add a “copy structure parameters” – This lets you copy all the relevant geometric structure information from for example a coated to an uncoated structure – or a single ended to a differential pair – it offers significant time savings when making comparisons.

Three Ways to Improve High-Speed PCB Signoff, Part 1
09/06/2023 | Brad Griffin, Cadence Design SystemsSignal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) are top priorities for engineers designing today’s high-speed, high-density circuit boards, and faster signoff of designs can be achieved by uncovering SI/PI issues early in the design process, before costly respins are required. Three key issues engineers need to overcome to sign off on high-speed PCB designs include power analysis, serializer/deserializer (SerDes) link compliance, and double data rate (DDR) memory interface compliance.
What’s Your Process for Developing a Strategy?
08/24/2023 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDr. Tim Rodgers might not call himself a “business strategies guru,” but the moniker certainly fits. As an adjunct faculty instructor at the University of Colorado, Tim specializes in project management, problem-solving, and streamlining processes in engineering and manufacturing. Plus, Tim knows the business side of PCB fabrication. We asked Tim to discuss the process of developing a successful business strategy for PCB fabricators, why operational efficiency is not a strategy itself, and how smaller companies can differentiate themselves in an industry that’s becoming more and more commoditized.
