Current IssueCreating the Ideal Data Package
Why is it so difficult to create the ideal data package? Many of these simple errors can be alleviated by paying attention to detail—and knowing what issues to look out for. So, this month, our experts weigh in on the best practices for creating the ideal design data package for your design.
Designing Through the Noise
Our experts discuss the constantly evolving world of RF design, including the many tradeoffs, material considerations, and design tips and techniques that designers and design engineers need to know to succeed in this high-frequency realm.
Learning to Speak ‘Fab’
Our expert contributors clear up many of the miscommunication problems between PCB designers and their fab and assembly stakeholders. As you will see, a little extra planning early in the design cycle can go a long way toward maintaining open lines of communication with the fab and assembly folks.

EMA Webinar: Next Generation MCAD/ECAD for SOLIDWORKS
May 9, 2024 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Experiencing challenges with MCAD/ECAD collaboration? Do update and revisions take too long? Are you finding integration issues too late in the design process? Does the fidelity of the ECAD data you receive prevent you from building a full digital prototype of your design before manufacture?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you are not alone. MCAD/ECAD is a significant challenge and pinch point in the overall design process and with increasing product complexity and compressed schedules the challenge is only getting more severe. Fortunately, Cadence & Dassault have partnered to help design teams solve these problems through enhanced integration between the MCAD and ECAD design software.
Learn how the MCAD and ECAD experts at Hawk Ridge and EMA can help you solve your MCAD/ECAD integration challenges with this unique collaboration environment.
What You Will Learn:
- Common challenges in ECAD/MCAD collaboration and how to overcome them.
- How Cadence & Dassault have partnered to solve these challenges.
- Importance of native integration for MCAD design continuity
- How to effectively collaborate with ECAD on design choices and libraries
- Preview of next generation 3DX cloud connector

Standards: The Roadmap for Your Ideal Data Package
05/29/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineIn this interview, IPC design instructor Kris Moyer explains how standards can help you ensure that your data package has all the information your fabricator and assembler need to build your board the way you designed it, allowing them to use their expertise. As Kris says, even with IPC standards, there’s still an art to conveying the right information in your documentation.
High-frequency EMC Noise in DC Circuits
05/29/2025 | Karen Burnham, EMC UnitedEMC isn’t black magic, but it’s easy to understand why it seems that way. When looking at a schematic like that in Figure 1, it looks like you’re only dealing with DC signals all across the board. There’s a 28 VDC input that goes through an EMI filter, then gets converted to 12 VDC power. Except in extremely rare circumstances involving equipment sensitive to magnetostatic fields, DC electricity will never be part of an EMC problem.
