Polar Brings New Book 'The PCB Designers Guide to... More Secrets of High Speed PCBs' to EIPC Edinburgh
May 27, 2025 | Polar InstrumentsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Polar Instruments' latest book, The PCB Designer's Guide to... More Secrets of High Speed PCBs, will see its European Launch at the EIPC conference in Edinburgh, June 3-4, 2025. More Secrets unveils more of the knowledge that is often missed from theoretical text books to help both new and experienced designers realize the PCBs they “thought” they had designed. The traps of extended supply chains, the ever expanding variety of base materials that need to be handled and the challenges of communication of ever more complex multilayer stackups.
With guidance for setting expectations of production tolerances – and an answer to the question “Where is the PCB-making machine?” – the new book gives a useful back story to the life of a PCB to designers who are immersed in electrical specifications. For non-electronics specialists and procurement engineers the information contained perhaps gives a glimpse of the challenges faced by designers too.
With a guest chapter from Bert Simonovich, "Demystifying the modeling of vias and offering an alternative to full 3D via modeling," the book adds to the picture painted by its predecessor The PCB Designer's Guide to... Secrets of High Speed PCBs.
“The PCB Designer's Guide to... More Secrets of High Speed PCBs successfully distracts young engineers from their phones at coffee breaks,” remarks Neil Chamberlain, Signal integrity Product Manager.
