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 ...

Charles Pfeil is an Engineering Director in the Systems Design Division at Mentor Graphics. My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two ...

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.

Miniaturisation is no longer a trend — it’s a design necessity. As standard PCB technologies reach their limits, the transition to HDI and microvia designs becomes essential for integrating fine-pitch ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...
