The unique characteristics of today’s electronic products are increasingly defined by the ‘soft’, reprogrammable elements of the design. Read on to find out more ...
Creating electronic products that offer a genuinely competitive edge relies, in essence, on delivering designs that offer a distinct and recognizable advantage in the marketplace. In the past, the way components were physically placed and connected at the board level could provide a high degree of differentiation. Today, the increasing globalization of the industry and standardization of interfaces makes differentiation at the board level difficult to achieve and sustain... more
Mainstream board level design is becoming more sophisticated as designers struggle to harness the potential of the latest high-speed, densely-packaged components – notably the latest generation programmable devices.
