September 2024 Technology Roadmaps In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to the all-important question: What is my company’s technology roadmap? Preview Copy PDF Download...
Test points should also be placed with high-speed design rules in mind to avoid creating antennas that will radiate interference. 6. Probe point parameters Probe points are different from automated test points and therefore have their own parameters to consider. Their hole or surface mount pad ...
Figure 2: Illustration of the leaf spring fuse invented by CV Boys and HH Cunningham In 1883, CV Boys and HH Cunningham designed a different version of the Thompson fuse cutout. It consisted of two leaf springs that were soldered at their opposing ends. When a high...
Such a connection is considered to have occurred in a printed wiring CAD database or artwork anytime conductors from different nets either touch or come closer than the minimum spacing allowed for the design rules being used. Signal layer Layer of a board, in which traces can be placed. For...
Continuous improvement– By providing closed-loop feedback on defects and corrections, FCT testing enables continuous refinement of PCB fabrication processes and design rules toward higher reliability and yields. In summary, properly leveraging the data from FCT testing helps PCB manufacturers achieve impro...
This section is very specific to DipTrace which is my schematics capture and PCB layout package of choice. The general rules should apply to anything though. DipTrace support rasterizing and saving the layout to bitmap files. To do this open the Preview dialog. ...
circuit. The result is excess (often damaging) current between these points. Such a connection is considered to have occurred in a printed wiring CAD database or artwork anytime conductors from different nets either touch or come closer than the minimum spacing allowed for the design rules being...
offers and will only be addressed when the first signed offer is disposed of. This week I am going to answer some pressing questions that I have been presented with and will do so with the help of our good ole FAR guidelines and MLS rules which I need to add are still our benchmark....
You bet, but some people need the threat of consequence in order to obey the rules. Sad isn’t it? Another part of our area that is lacking and in need of improvement is our beach sporting facilities. We have been counseled by Richard Sanders, our Director of Sports Marketing that as ...
The items in the checklist need to be considered if it is neces- sary to change a physical feature or material from one of the established rules. Cost can also be affected by these parameters as well as those in Table 5-1. 3.1 Information Hierarchy 3.1.1 Order of Precedence In the ...
