The growth of system-on-modules (SOMs) in embedded computing presents a paradigm shift in embedded design. Legacy electronics systems typically leveraged discrete chip-down designs. The circuit designer was responsible for the selecting, designing and routing of the CPU, Memory, I/O, power and analog circuitry within their application. EEs continuously met the technical challenges presented before them. As Moore's Law moves along, system-level electronic design using the discrete … [Read more...]

Samtec to Present at Mentor User2User 2017 PADS Events
Designing PCBs used to be easy. Typically PCBs only had a few components. They usually only had one or two layers. Data rates were a few Kbps or Mbps. Like The Right Stuff, Richard Dean Anderson's MacGyver and Tang, these are concepts only understood by engineers of a certain era. What about today? PCB Designers and Layout Engineers face a growing number of design challenges. Data rates seem to get faster by the day. PCB design teams span the globe. … [Read more...]
