As an electronics engineer, you need to ensure PCBA documentation is clean, complete, and up to date. Here are MacroFab's tips to help you overcome common documentation challenges that can keep your designs from reaching their maximum production potential
Relying on single-sourced components is a risky move that constricts your supply chain options and pins your product's future to one option.
What happens if that option disappears? We have tips that can protect you from single-sourcing uncertainty.
In this episode, we talk about how researchers have created a system for predicting job automation and providing alternatives to current workers along with the impacts of carbon dioxide productivity.
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.

Electronic product development is a highly iterative process that involves going back and forth between the design and manufacturing stages. Cloud Manufacturing Services make it possible for engineers to focus on innovation.
In this episode, we talk about how exoskeleton technology is being leveraged to treat parkinsons and how a new approach for more efficient, personalized exoskeletons could be the catalyst for wide scale adaptation.
PCBA prototyping establishes design feasibility and future manufacturability. Here are tried and true strategies to lower costs and effort to save time on your next PCBA prototype.
An ROV camera is any visual imaging system that can be used on underwater ROVs to provide the operator with a perception of the operating environment. The depth rating for an ROV camera usually starts at 300m.
Energy storage is a vague term. Here, we go through common questions people have about supercapacitors. Topics range from how batteries compare to supercapacitors, what energy density is, what power density is, and how supercapacitors are unique in both their construction and their application.
In this episode, we talk about how a radical change in plastic composition can significantly minimize waste when recycling plastics without compromising material properties and a first of its kind smart fabric with customizable properties which serves as the first step towards a whole new market
In this episode, we talk about how a group of researchers were inspired by the adaptive immune system found in humans to fortify vulnerable neural networks and a joint effort between universities to create electric skin with unmatched performance.
Using a highly-scalable approach to creating dense sensor networks, yet requiring only a pair of address lines, these researchers have taken inspiration from the human somatosensory system for a rapid-response sensitive sense of electronic touch.
Featuring "fiber devices" including a large-format display, temperature and ultraviolet sensors, a touch-sensitive input matrix, and even a heart-rate monitor, this foldable fabric is being positioned as a breakthrough for smart homes and the IoT.
In this episode, we talk about how a group at MIT has developed an easy-to-use handheld device to treat internal bleeding and a joint effort between MIT and Imperial College London which resulted in a marine mammal call sensor that can leverage machine learning models locally
