This white paper describes an approach combining system capture tools with platform tools to work together in optimizing the context of the whole and not in the context of the contributions to the whole, and about developing early forecasts of the costs associated with the design. The explosion … [Read more...]
The Evolution of the Membrane Switch
What do device developers and design engineers need to know about membrane keypads and touch pads Invented over 30 years ago, membrane keyboards and switches were at first ridiculed as a low-cost but unreliable input technology. However, after decades of improvements, the membrane switch has now … [Read more...]
The Material Effects of Laser Energy
Using modern laser systems for the depanelization of circuit boards can create some challenges for the production engineer when it is compared to traditional mechanical singulation methods.

7 Quick Tips for Taking your PCB Silkscreen from Ordinary to Extraordinary
Today, it’s hard to imagine a GPS that doesn’t list landmarks, street names, or even exit numbers. Every bit of visual information we can get from map symbols and text makes navigating easier and faster. The same is true for a PCB, yet we often overlook a great opportunity to provide a wealth of … [Read more...]
