Bare boards are the skeletal framework of printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are without electrical components which should have made it a fully functional PCB. This article details the uses, benefits, and drawbacks of bare boards, including the types of bare board testing.
The merging of ECAD and MCAD allows virtual simulation of the manufacturing process and reduces validation gaps that can happen when design efforts happen independently.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of motor controllers, covering definitions, types, control strategies, design considerations, selection guidelines, and emerging trends.
Explore how first-principles engineering and human judgment shape reliable high-voltage IC design, from yield thinking to long-term system lifetime and root-cause discipline.
This article explains what is LDO, how the LDO regulator works, discusses key specifications such as dropout voltage, line/load regulation, noise, and PSRR, and shows how to select and design with LDOs to meet demanding engineering requirements.
The integrated design achieves accurate micro gas chromatography and can help reduce the cost of monitoring chemical synthesis, natural gas pipelines or at-home air quality.
Hybrid bonding provides the adhesive free, copper to copper interconnects that are driving cutting edge 3D chip stacking. This article explains the theory, process, benefits, challenges, applications, and emerging trends of hybrid bonding for engineers.
In this episode, we talk about the engineers that built a wireless tag that detects and remembers overheating without a chip or a battery, enabling cold-chain monitoring without creating electronic waste.

A young team with a new technology are currently creating a revolution in the world of printed electronics. In their modern, brand-new lab at the High Tech Plaza, they will be developing a device that can deposit any material on any substrate at a very rapid pace.
In this episode, we talk about how engineers inspired by some of biology’s most miniature wonders (like dandelions' seeds and microorganisms' cilia) are using their knowledge to make major breakthroughs in biosensing, robotics, biomedical engineering, and more.
Using public electricity and solar panels for the easy and hassle-free charging of Electric Vehicles is an interesting solution to combat the problem of the unavailability of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
PWB and PCB are two commonly inter-used terms in the industry of consumer electronics. The former means printed wiring board and the latter, short for printed circuit board. This article explores their similarities and subtle differences; their uses, types, and benefits to the electronics industry.
Researchers at Texas A&M University and ExxonMobil are developing a method to reprocess petroleum coke — a byproduct of refining crude oil — into a sustainable, high-value alternative.
In this episode, we talk about how robotic dogs might be the next best astronauts as they are well-equipped to explore the Moon’s unforgiving terrain, and about a framework for launching swarms of robots into warehouses to get work done better, safer, and more efficiently.
SMT stands for Surface-mount Technology, a method of soldering components directly onto a PCB. This article delves into the concept of SMT and the manufacturing process, as well as the benefits, drawbacks, and related terms.
