Target Condition: Signal Integrity Without Borders

June 24, 2026 | Kelly Dack, Target Condition

I started my PCB design career in 1980, long before “signal integrity” became a formal discipline. Back then, we were trying to “connect the dots” on simple, two-sided PCB layouts using the new $80,000 interactive graphics terminals we called a CAD system. By the time PCB design conferences emerged in the 1990s, signal integrity had begun to formalize into a discipline of its own. Much of the early, visible thought leadership came from North America and parts of Europe.

One Design, Many Minds: From Concurrent to Co-design

June 23, 2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine

For decades, hardware development has often looked like a relay race: Work is handed from the mechanical team to the electrical team to the RF team, and eventually back again, hopefully without too many expensive surprises waiting at the finish line. But as products become smaller, faster, smarter, and far more complex, that old-school “over-the-wall” workflow is starting to show its cracks.

I should probably begin with an apology, because this may be a tough pill to swallow and not the small vitamin kind. This is one of those honking, huge pills that could choke a mule. My goal is not to criticize students, dismiss...

Beyond Design: How Signals Survive the Hostile PCB Environment

June 3, 2026 | Barry Olney, Beyond Design

Modern digital signals exhibit behavior more characteristic of RF waveforms than the slow logic transitions of the past. With fast rise times, a PCB is no longer a collection of copper traces, but a distributed electromagnetic system....
