Through-hole assembly means bending leads on components and putting the leads through holes in the circuit board, then soldering them in place, and trimming the wires. That took up too much space and ...

Continued pressure for electronic devices that provide greater functionality in ever-smaller form-factors is not only providing the driving force behind developing smaller surface-mount components and ...

In recent months, the ability to hide components inside a circuit board has become an item of interest. We could trace this to the burgeoning badgelife movement, where engineers create beautiful works ...

Two weeks after claiming to have 3D printed rigid PCBs with flexible connectors, Nano Dimension says it has now printed PCBs with electrical components embedded within them. According to the company, ...

Modular systems present a good approach as the computing power can easily be adapted by replacing components or using different assembly variants. These systems must be optimally adjusted; they should ...

A new Linux based embedded board has been created called the SCADA which is powered by a Texas Instruments ARM cortex-A8 1-Ghz processor and measures just 110mm X 100mm in size. SCADA has been ...

At the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2007, the Santa Clara, Calif., chip giant announced the availability of the Quad Core Xeon E5335 and E5345 processors, based on the Xeon 5300 Series, ...

The rapid growth of programmable handheld and wireless computers has created a market for processor boards and single-board computers specifically targeted to the unique needs of these devices.

Early microcomputers typically consisted of a half dozen (or more) circuit boards--plugged into a backplane--that implemented the central processor unit (CPU), memory, disk controllers and ...

Embedded die packaging is seeing renewed demand amid the push towards chips and systems that require smaller form factors. ASE, AT&S, GE, Shinko, Taiyo Yuden, TDK, Würth Elektronik and others compete ...
