PCBAA Welcomes CHIPS Program Investing in American Made Substrates

03/05/2024 | PCBAA
The Printed Circuit Board Association of America welcomes the CHIPS for America program action to make available $300 million via a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for domestic research and development activities to accelerate domestic capacity for advanced packaging substrates and substrate materials.

Every Designer Needs to Understand Embedded 

02/14/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
IPC’s Kris Moyer teaches design techniques for embedding components, and he’s noticed an upswing in his students’ interest in embedded component design. We recently spoke with him about embedding component design: best practices, pros and cons, and when it makes sense for designers to start embedding.

The Shaughnessy Report: In Bed With Embedded

02/12/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy Report
We’re always hearing about PCB technology running into a wall. On the design side, Moore’s Law hit one such wall. On the fab side, features are now so tiny that the traditional subtractive methods have hit another type of wall. And we see OEMs who never planned to use flexible circuits wind up embracing them, because rigid boards just won’t fit into a new product’s form factor. In the February 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors lay down the foundation of knowledge that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design.

American Made Advocacy: Moving the Needle for Microelectronics in 2023

12/26/2023 | Travis Kelly -- Column: American Made Advocacy
What a difference a year makes. In 2023, we saw remarkable progress toward securing critical supply chains and laying the groundwork to rebuild our defense industrial base and critical infrastructure. The passage of the CHIPS Act has spurred a deeper conversation about America’s dependence on foreign sourcing and motivated our leaders to act after 30 years of complacency.

The Shaughnessy Report: Trace Oddity

12/12/2023 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy Report
Remember when PCBs were all shaped like squares and rectangles? Things were so much simpler in the olden days. Now boards are designed, fabricated and assembled in all shapes, including stars, human hands, octopuses, triangles, and cursive signatures, just to name a few. The wearables and automotive segments are driving the development of PCBs in odd shapes. And there are plenty of circular PCBs being designed for use in products that can reach out and touch bad actors in another part of the world.
