In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

The complexity and density of electronics design has increased, partly due to the rise of the mobile industry, introducing new challenges for printed-circuit board (PCB) designers. Embedding ...

While working at a company that makes automotive embedded control systems, my colleagues and I set out to create a new PCB layout for one of our products. The product worked fine, but we needed to ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

Editor's note: This article addresses the need for designers of printed circuit boards for nextgen ICs to be savvy about package-on-package technology. New ways of working with sub-assembly printed ...

When PCB traces are in close proximity, they can talk to each other through the capacitor created by these traces. This type of cross-talk can wreak havoc as you try to combine analog and digital ...

High-density interconnect (HDI) technology allows printed-circuit board (PCB) designers to increase routing density, reduce layer count, and improve the thermal and electrical characteristics of their ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF have integrated their monolithically integrated GaN power ICs using PCB embedding technology as a half bridge circuit, ...

The bulky batteries that power mobile devices could one day be extinct. Oki Printed Circuits has showcased technology that embeds a 170?m-thick thin-film all-solid-state lithium-ion (Li-ion) ...
