True 3-D interconnects and packaging. Rigid PCBs are inherently 2-D. Rigid-flex, however, allows you to fold, bend and twist your circuit board into complex 3-D shapes, conforming to irregularly ...

The XFP MSA (10-Gbit small-form-factor-pluggable multisource-agreement) group, which defined a 10-Gbps serial transceiver for datacom and telecom applications, comprises leading networking, system, ...

Circuit board design startup Jitx Inc. today launched from stealth mode and disclosed that it has secured a $12 million funding round led by Sequoia Capital. The Series A round also included the ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...

Meanwhile, a compact board will have more wattage to dissipate per unit area. The power supplies are spread around the board with dedicated regulators assigned to each chip even when the voltage ...

This is the first of several articles in the PCB Design Best Practices series, which discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific ...

A method to produce single-layer deformable and stretchable printed circuit boards is reported and applied to enable the realization of metamorphic electronic products that can take on new ...

Why are test points a crucial element in developing a successful circuit? Types of test points available, and the different techniques that employ them. Electronic design has always been an endeavor ...

Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...
