Reducing product development risk is not mainly about finding more issues at the end of a project. In embedded product development, the most expensive risks are often created much earlier, when the operating environment is not fully understood, the hardware and...

Flexible PCBs can be an excellent product design choice, but only when the mechanical, electrical and manufacturing reasons are strong enough to justify the extra design discipline. In professional electronics, they are rarely just a neat way to save space. They...

A PCB that passes prototype testing is not automatically ready for volume manufacturing. In professional electronics, reliability depends on much more than a clean schematic and a working first build. Stack-up, component packages, solderability, test access, thermal...

For many engineering teams, the first encounter with EMC happens too late: a prototype is ready, the launch date is close, and a test report suddenly shows excessive emissions or poor immunity. At that point, solving the issue can mean PCB redesign, enclosure changes,...

In complex electronic products, reliability and EMC are often treated as validation topics. A prototype is built, tests are performed, problems are found and the team then searches for fixes. That approach is risky. Many field failures, emissions problems and immunity...
