American Standard Circuits is an early
adopter of Averatek's A-SAP process
for its ultra high density interconnect
(UHDI) products. In this final part of my
interview with industry veteran John
Johnson, vice president of business
development at American Standard
Circuits, we use photos, slides, and
materials to discuss what he learned
from his previous role at Averatek.
What does it take to become a great
designer? After all, there isn't exactly
a critical path to becoming a great
designer. How does a designer qualify
as "great" in the first place? We posed
that question to our PCB designer
readers in a recent survey, and, as
usual, the readers did not disappoint.
Whether it's presenting
software courses or
demonstrating a product's
value, effective commu-
nication is key. By impart-
ing knowledge, you enable others to appreciate
the technology. As a presenter, your role extends
beyond information delivery; it's about igniting
curiosity and competence.
ICAPE Group is excited to announce
an exclusive webinar that will unveil
the secrets to streamlined PCB
procurement in under 20 minutes.
Titled "Unlock the secrets of rapid
online PCB ordering," this webinar
promises to revolutionize the way
you approach prototype and small
series PCB ordering.
I see 2023 as one of the
most exciting and signifi-
cant years at Sunstone
Circuits since I began my
career with the organiza-
tion. We joined forces
with American Standard
Circuits (ASC), an organization that excels in produc-
ing ultra HDI, metal-backed/core, RF/microwave, flex,
and rigid-flex PCBs for diverse industries.

OrCADX: High Performance
That's Easy to Use
During DesignCon, I spoke
with Chris Banton of EMA
about the newest develop-
ments around OrCADX,
which provides PCB design-
ers with more design auto-
mation capability across the
whole design process in an easy-to-use GUI. As
Chris says, this tool is designed for agile design
teams, and features an updated PCB UX.
