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.

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 ...

Borrowing concepts from IC design, Cadence Design Systems this week (March 26) is introducing the Global Route Environment Technology for its Allegro pc-board design system. It combines a graphical ...

A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

The latest revision of Zuken's CR-5000 PCB and packaging design suite includes a number of enhancements, most notably to symmetry in trunk routing and modeling. Revision 9.0 of the CR-5000 suite also ...
