May 3, 2006, Norwalk, CT � Assembly Technology Expo, the nation�s largest �all assembly� trade event, will feature a keynote address by syndicated cartoonist Scott Adams. Adams is best known as the creator of Dilbert, the immensely popular comic crea...

Transition to lead free solder stations in electronics packaging has raised issues regarding process, metallurgy and reliability m assemblies. In regards to soldering, lead has been used for thousands of years in a wide range of applications. Conven...

Hardware Configuration Management for any product manufacturing company. Sets the stage for innovation in Engineering and Manufacturing. Bridges the gap between these organizations by developing rules, methods, policy and work flow for the engineerin...

The perennial question in electronics design and manufacture is: �How do I design a printed circuit board (PCB) so that it can be properly tested?� To achieve this objective, there are a number of design-for-test (DFT) considerations and techniques....

ABSTRACT Electronic Packaging is a critical part of all electronic devices and can be a source of the reliability problems experienced by systems using those devices. In many cases, the packaging defects are intermittent in nature and difficult to ...

Abstract The authors of this paper will describe a method to assist system designers of High Speed Systems in the selection of PWB design / build attributes. ...

In this note we show how we at Silicon Devices simulate mixer gain using WinSPICE3, a generic net-list driven linear and non-linear SPICE simulator. The netlists accompanying this note (available from our website) may be modified for use in other SP...

In this note we outline one of the ways we at Silicon Devices simulate scattering parameters using WinSPICE3, a generic net-list driven linear and non-linear SPICE simulator. The netlists accompanying this note (available from our website) may easil...

This note shows how a simple VCO model maybe created, then simulated to show its functionality to quite a complex level using a relatively simple test-bench implemented in a readily available SPICE simulator by using a few simple mathematical formula...
