Current IssueLearning 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.
Training New Designers
Where will we find the next generation of PCB designers and design engineers? Once we locate them, how will we train and educate them? What will PCB designers of the future need to master to deal with tomorrow’s technology?
The Designer of the Future
Our expert contributors peer into their crystal balls and offer their thoughts on the designers and design engineers of tomorrow, and what their jobs will look like.

I-Connect007 Releases The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... More Secrets of High-Speed PCBs by Martyn Gaudion
January 29, 2025 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute

I-Connect007 is proud to announce the release of The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... More Secrets of High-Speed PCBs, authored by Martyn Gaudion of Polar Instruments. This invaluable resource offers essential insights for anyone involved in the design, procurement, or fabrication of high-speed impedance or insertion loss-controlled PCBs, as well as complex HDI PCBs requiring precise documentation.
A new addition to the acclaimed Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… series, this book builds on the principles introduced in Secrets of High-Speed PCBs, Parts 1 and 2. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges in transitioning designs from CAD/CAM systems to real-world manufacturing, where materials, processes, and tolerances often defy idealized specifications.
Key topics covered include:
- Strategies for bridging the gap between design precision and manufacturing realities.
- Best practices for documentation to ensure seamless PCB fabrication.
- Methods to improve signal integrity through precise measurement and modeling.
Written for PCB designers, engineers, and procurement teams, this guide emphasizes how to transition quality designs from prototype to production while maintaining the highest signal integrity standards. With Gaudion’s expertise and practical advice, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between design specifications and the complex realities of manufacturing processes.
