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.

Bridging the Gap Between PCB Designers and Fabricators
04/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAWith today’s advanced EDA tools, designing complex PCBs in the virtual world does not necessarily mean they can be built in the real world. This makes the relationship between a PCB designer and a fabricator pivotal to the success of a project. In keeping with solid design for manufacturing (DFM) practices, clear and frequent communication is needed to dial and lock in design constraints that meet expectations while addressing manufacturing concerns.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
