It's still cold outside, but our conference speakers will be covering some hot topics at PCB East! If you're involved in high-speed PCB design, make plans to be in Worcester, Massachusetts from April 28 - May 1 and attend these classes by the top PCB design instructors in the world. These topics are so hot that the fire marshal is standing by! Click here to register: https://tinyurl.com/bdp99a4c

You're not hallucinating, but AI might be. Check out Sean Patterson's February cover story, "AI ‘Hallucinates.’ Why That’s Actually Good News."

As Sean points out, without the right context, AI can provide answers that sound right but can quietly derail manufacturing decisions. AI might provide us with a statistically plausible answer based on patterns in its training data. But without specific context, even the best AI becomes a very expensive guess. https://tinyurl.com/4v88uzaj

Peter Bigelow digs deep in his February digital column, “The Next Great Technology Challenge: Designing without Rare Earths.”

As demand for AI and advanced electronics grows, the industry faces mounting pressure to reduce its reliance on scarce rare earth materials. Rare earths are front-page news today, but regrettably the focus is more toward geopolitical wrangling among countries that have them and those that do not. But all the saber-rattling among competitors fails to address the root challenge: how can new technologies be developed that perform the functions we want while using far less – or no – rare earths? bit.ly/45W2yqS

Akber Roy spaces out in his February feature, “Consider Manufacturing Complexity When PCB Designs Have Tight Hole-to-Trace Spacing”

As Akber explains, tight spacing (less than 8 mils) between drilled holes and copper traces increases fabrication complexity and yield risk. In the world of PCB manufacturing, knowledge of manufacturing constraints can help you design PCB using techniques that can guarantee reliable, economical and high-yield manufacturing. A wrong approach at the PCB layout stage can impact the complexity and cost of its fab and assembly. Understanding this enables you to develop smart practical design solutions for economical manufacturing and rapid prototyping cycles. bit.ly/4qVS2bs
