Due to an increase in required power levels and a reduction in available board space in multiple-phase voltage regulator applications, printed circuit board (PCB) trace design has become an important ...

A top assignment a PCB designer is responsible for is to manage the heat generated by today’s large and small complex electronics components placed on a PCB. In effect, the PCB designer becomes a ...

Electronics companies at the leading edge of performance are being forced to address board-level thermal requirements at the earliest stages of design. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) constitute the ...

Test engineers have a variety of options for testing printed-circuit boards—ranging from in-circuit testers to the latest in embedded-instrument technology. Despite the decline of PCB physical access ...
