Preferring to spend hours typing code instead of graphically pushing traces around in a PCB layout tool, [James Bowman] over at ExCamera Labs has developed CuFlow, a method for routing PCBs in Python.

PCB routing methods continue to evolve, and flexible routing techniques can reduce wire length and free up space on a PCB. Traditional PCB routing is limited by fixation of coordinates of wires and by ...

When electronics engineers design PCBs, they must follow best practices for trace routing. This helps maintain PCB signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). Crosstalk can occur ...

A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

Another common mistake is simply reducing the diameter of the through-holes to permit space to reroute the breakout. To maintain manufacturability, I recommend a minimum 6mil finished hole size/8mil ...

AI has become a central element of Cadence Design Systems’ broader ‘Intelligent System Design’ strategy, as NE discovers ...

My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two Racal-Redac Mini systems for my service bureau, Computer Circuits. What memories remain from ...

New AI launch: Siemens unveiled Fuse EDA AI Agent to automate chip and PCB design, verification, and manufacturing workflows. Deep integration: The agent connects Siemens’ EDA tools with Nvidia AI ...

As wireless systems grow more complex, a new generation of RF switches promises to cut design challenges while improving ...
