90 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I MARCH 2022
Semi-Additive PCB fabrication processes add a
new tool to the PCB designer's toolbox. As with
any new tool, there is a learning curve. To help
shorten that curve and expand the growing body
of knowledge, Tara Dunn speaks with Randy
Chase, CID. He is the senior manager of PCB and
Module Design at pSemi, a Murata company.
The Hubble
telescope, the
Cassini-Huygens
mission, and
other exploratory
spacecraft utilize
high-voltage DC
power supplies for everything from vidicon
camera tubes and mass spectrometers to
radar and laser technologies. NASA has expe-
rienced performance problems with the 1.5 kV
supplies because—as a 2006 report stated—
"designers did not take the high-voltage
problems seriously in the initial design."
The Printed Circuit Design-
er's Guide to… Stackups:
The Design within the
Design is the latest addition
to I-Connect007's library.
In this book, brought to
readers by Siemens Digital
Industries Software and
I-007eBooks, author and
stackups expert Bill Hargin discusses
materials, laminate datasheets, impedance
planning, and more, providing the reader
with a broader understanding of stackup
planning and material selection.

Screaming with Eric Bogatin's EMI Tips
Signal integrity evangelist Eric Bogatin talks about his AltiumLive keynote
presentation, "How to Keep Your Boards from Screaming Like a Banshee."
Eric explains how attention to board structures during the early stages of
PCB layout can keep EMI from becoming a problem in your design.
