Do Devices on PCBs Really See a Higher CDM-like ESD Risk?

There are several scenarios where integrated circuits (ICs) are mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs) which might be charged-up and experience CDM-like events.

IEC 61249-2-43:2016, Standard for Materials for Printed Boards

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 61249-2-43:2016. This standard describes "Materials for printed...

Failure Analysis: A Road Map

Although the foundation of a failure analysis is rooted in science, there is also an art to completing one, successfully. The path from “problem discovery” to “problem solution” has many bumps and twists along the way and this article will hopefully help guide you on your journey.

Because It’s All About the Current

Making Real Boards

The board stackup is probably the most essential piece for ensuring a successful PCB design. Modern high-speed busses require controlled-impedance traces, and whether you are using a simulation tool, a simple calculator, or the back of a napkin, you need to understand your manufacturing process to correlate your impedance calculations. This ensures that your trace widths and dielectric heights match what will actually be manufactured, and eliminates last-minute design changes.
