Three independent design processes – chip, package, and PCB – are typically required for the latest electronic products which utilize increasingly complex systems on chip (SoCs) and multiple chips in ...

This application note focuses on printed circuit board (PCB) layout considerations for QFN and DQFN packages. This is intended for users who are familiar with PCB design, as well as, signal integrity ...

Mentor Graphics is bringing together the IC design, package design and PCB layout in a single tool environment. The design environment called Xpedition Package Integrator flow can be used to integrate ...

We see a lot of projects using Eagle for the schematics and PCB layout. There are a few that use Kicad, but we hear very little about other alternatives. Recently, [Limpkin] has been working with ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...
