In “PCB 3.0: A New Design Methodology: Manufacturing” Patrick Davis, Cadence Design Systems, returns to the podcast to talk about design rules. As design considerations become more and more complex, so, too, do the rulesets designers must abide by. But rather than seeing them as impossible sets of constraints, Davis shares a vision in which designers can maximize their creative efficiencies while relying on ever more complex design rules to keep everything straight.

In the #SemiconductorCapitalIndustry, supply chain hiccups or tech leaps mean we sometimes need to swap out parts. 🛠️ Before sending these parts to customer fabs, I make sure they're ready to rock! 🎶 🚀 As a product manager in the semiconductor capital equipment industry, I follow certain steps for risk mitigation. Here are some of the steps for fine-tuning the process: ✅ 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: I check if the new part jams well with all product setups. 🎸 ✅ 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: I ensure it still plays nice with special tool customizations. 🔧 ✅ 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞/𝐎𝐒 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: I verify it’s in sync with the current software version or operating system. 💻 These three checks are crucial to hit all the right notes and avoid any production dissonance at the customer's end. 🎯 Let's prioritize rigorous internal testing of alternate components. It’s a key part of our product management and essential for maintaining smooth customer operations. 🚀 Meticulous planning and cross-functional collaboration are the strings that make the music of innovation in our field. Let's keep playing the right tune! 🎵 How do you ensure fail-proof testing of alternate parts at the customer fab? #TechnicalExpertise #SemiconductorIndustry #Innovation #BrightBytesWithRitam 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: Stratfor

Accurate PCB area calculation is not just a technical detail; it's a cornerstone of successful electronics manufacturing. By prioritizing precision in this fundamental step, design engineers can avoid costly mistakes, optimize resource usage, and ensure smoother production processes. In a field where every detail matters, overlooking PCB area calculations is a risk no company can afford to take.

Here's what our VP of Products Bob Beachler highlights in the EE Times article about the Arm & Untether AI collaboration... “What we’re seeing is that a lot of our automotive customers are trying to figure out ways to differentiate their hardware and make it better than an off the shelf system from Mobileye, Qualcomm or Nvidia,” “With the growing amount of AI in automotive infrastructure, they are looking at how to solve this problem with scalable solutions that go from level 2+ all the way to full autonomy.” This type of system would require a scalable CPU architecture with the option for multiple AI accelerators, which will be provided by the new Arm-Untether partnership. #autonomous #driving #powerefficient #atmemory #ai #compute #acceleration
