For more than 30 years PCB West has trained designers, engineers, fabricators and, lately, assemblers on making printed circuit boards for every
By Joel Jorgensen, FlowAccel.
The 2026 Siemens EDA and Wilson Research Group study just came out. Verification now eats close to half the schedule on every IC and FPGA program. I don’t doubt that number. What I don’t know is how much of it is actually verification, and how much of it is something else showing up disguised… Read More
For many years, the PCB industry has accepted dielectric values without fully understanding how they were measured—or whether they’re the right values for impedance modeling. This webinar explores what that means for today’s high-speed designs.
As … Read More
Many complex PCB designs have high data-rate signals like USB, PCIe, DDR and HDMI which call for more thorough verification methods to ensure compliance plus mitigate any signal integrity, power integrity and EMI/EMC issues. Siemens has a methodology that uses automated rule-based electrical verification with an EDA tool,… Read More
Safety engineers, hardware designers and reliability specialists in safety-critical industries like automotive, aerospace, medical device and industrial automation use FMEDA (Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis). ISO 26262 compliance for ADAS, braking systems and ECUs require FMEDA in the automotive sector.… Read More
Siemens has strengthened its position in EDA and manufacturing by acquiring ASTER Technologies, a specialist in test and reliability solutions for printed circuit boards. The acquisition represents a strategic step in Siemens’ broader vision to deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end digital thread for electronics design,… Read More
User2User Mid-Atlantic is focused around these areas:
High-speed PCB designs are complex, often requiring a team with design engineers, PCB designers and SI/PI engineers working together to produce a reliable product, delivered on time and within budget. Cadence has been offering PCB tools for many years, and they recently wrote a 10-page white paper on this topic, so I’ll share … Read More
I’ve known about DRC (Design Rule Checking) for IC design, and the same approach can also be applied to PCB design. The continuous evolution of electronics has led to increasingly intricate PCB designs that require Electrical Rule Checking (ERC) to ensure that performance goals are met. This complexity poses several challenges… Read More
