The advent of cheap and accessible one-off PCB production has been one of the pivotal moments for electronic experimenters during the last couple of decades. Perhaps a few still etch their own boards, ...

PCB routing methods continue to evolve, and flexible routing techniques can reduce wire length and free up space on a PCB. Traditional PCB routing is limited by fixation of coordinates of wires and by ...

Combining the knowledge of an engineer, the skill of a printed circuit board (PCB) designer and the power of an autorouter, Wilsonville, Ore.-based Mentor Graphics Corp. has taken the wraps off of a ...

Another common mistake is simply reducing the diameter of the through-holes to permit space to reroute the breakout. To maintain manufacturability, I recommend a minimum 6mil finished hole size/8mil ...
