Current IssueOpportunities and Challenges
In this issue, our expert contributors discuss the many opportunities and challenges in the PCB design community, and what can be done to grow the numbers of PCB designers—and design instructors.
Embedded Design Techniques
Our expert contributors provide the knowledge this month that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design. Many design and manufacturing hurdles can trip up designers who are new to this technology.
Manufacturing Know-how
For this issue, we asked our expert contributors to share their thoughts on the absolute “must-know” aspects of fab, assembly and test that all designers should understand. In the end, we’re all in this together.

Register for Nine Dot Connects' 1/31 Webinar: Double Data Rate Memory (DDR3)
January 17, 2018 | Nine Dot ConnectsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
There’s a lot of talk about the 3rd generation of Double Data Rate memory known as DDR3. We at Nine Dot Connects have laid out several DDR3 boards in the past three months. There is quite a bit of detail to know about DDR3 design and layout and unfortunately, there is also a lot of misinformation out there. We have waded though and analyzed the literature. We wish to share our findings and understanding with you in our latest webinar series, Double Data Rate (DDR3) Shouldn't be Double Trouble.
In our two-part series on this topic, we will first cover key concepts necessary for proper signal integrity and general DDR3 design. Topics to be covered this month are:
- Brief history of the DDR concept
- Comparison between the different generations of DDR
- The signaling and timing requirements for DDR3
- Understanding match length versus match delay
- Compensating for typical routing delay
- Using the iCD Stackup Planner to assist in delay matching calculation
In part 2, we will build upon this foundation by demonstrating the practical aspects of DDR3 layout techniques.
This latest webinar, Double Data Rate (DDR3) Shouldn't be Double Trouble, is scheduled for January 31, 2018 at 2 pm Eastern Time. For more information and to register, click HERE.

Happy’s Tech Talk #26: Balancing the Density Equation
03/14/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkPrinted circuit design and layout is a creative process that has profound implications for electronic products. With the need for more parts on an assembly, or the trend to make things smaller to be portable or for faster speeds, the design process is a challenging one. The process is one of “balancing the density equation” (Figure 1) with considerations for certain boundary conditions like electrical and thermal performance. Unfortunately, many designers do not realize that there is a mathematical process to the layout of a printed circuit
