Ralf Brüning smooths over the edges and debunks myths about high-speed design and how it's affected by surface roughness

In a turbulent time for the production of manufactured parts, we found an effective alternative to incorporate into your designs.

Rule areas help make your design more reliable in high-density PCB's

With the release of the eCADSTAR SPICE Controller module for the Schematic Editor, PCB designers will have access to high-performing analysis tools.

With the release of the eCADSTAR 2021 and the availability of the eCADSTAR SPICE Controller module in Autumn this year, circuit designers will have a full front-end schematic driven simulation sandbox.

High voltages introduce physical, electrical, and economic issues. How can true 3D design, considering creepage, help you optimize your PCB for an unforgiving world?

Building a parts library for a new prototype always takes time. Finding the library online, even assuming it exists. Creating the footprint. Adding a schematic symbol. Find out an easy way!

A team in France created the SuperCam on Perseverance with CADSTAR, trusting its industry-proven EDA to design the PCBs. 

Zuken organizes a competition every year between distributors, and last year NOVACAD was named Distributor of the Year, 2020/2021.

Philippe Biran, director of NOVACAD, explained that it is with great pride and pleasure to be named the best European Distributor of eCADSTAR in 2019/2020.

The TDR has been around for a long time. It’s standard equipment for many engineers, including telecommunications and home broadband installers. The TDR analysis in eCADSTAR’s Signal Integrity Advanced creates results similar to a TDR with simulation. Read More.

Once you’ve captured a schematic for a high-speed design – or at least some of it – what’s the best way to start placement?

Once upon a time, a single logic supply, such as +5V, was often the only device power on a PCB. Not anymore.

This post is part 2 of 2 as we explore the process of changing PCB tools when something better comes along. Most often, three factors typically come to mind first when making the decision to change.

Jane Berrie is talking about various ways to re-use known-good work and adapting it to your needs. That gets results faster, but also more reliably.
