Fresh PCB Concepts: Traceability in PCB Design
February 20, 2025 | Team NCAB, Fresh PCB Concepts

Traceability has evolved from a safety-critical need in PCB production to a valuable tool across all electronic manufacturing industry sectors. The IPC-1782 standard addresses automated data collection, reduces ownership costs, and ensures accurate, timely information. It provides a flexible data architecture for different levels of traceability, from highly detailed systems (e.g., critical safety systems) to basic traceability needs (e.g., consumer products). The structure avoids data duplication and allows crucial information to be added post-production.
New EDA Tool Company Embraces AI and Code
February 19, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team

At DesignCon 2025, we met with Duncan Haldane, CEO and co-founder of the EDA software company JITX, based in Berkeley and San Jose, California. This PCB design tool runs on AI and software code, which Duncan says can accelerate your design cycle by up to 25x. We asked Duncan to explain how this software came to be, how it works, and what this could mean to the future of PCB design.
