Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...

Is FR-4 the Best Board Material Choice for High Speed PCB Design? We’ve all been there at one time or another when we’re tasked with a project that lies outside our comfort zone. For me, that day came ...

Nature’s plants and animals have a striking characteristic: symmetry. Symmetrical designs are simpler, more reliable, and reusable. Since nature is so fond of symmetry, it is surprising that we do not ...

Courses are 3 credit hours each. Students must take all 5, for a total of 15 credit hours. ECEN 5224 High Speed Digital Design (Spring) ECEN 5514 Principles of EM for HSDE (Fall) ECEN 5524 Principles ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...

Join us on Wednesday, September 25 at noon Pacific for the High-Speed PCB Design Hack Chat with Bil Herd! Printed circuits have become so commoditized that we seldom think much about design details.

Designing high-speed PCBs. Maintaining signal integrity for faster signal transmission. Reducing crosstalk in high-speed PCBs. Vigorous competition in the electronics market means developers must keep ...
