Semiconductors rely on circuit boards. The COVID-19 pandemic was a wakeup call for manufacturers of everything from F-150s to F-35s. Consumers and lawmakers learned that we don’t make enough ...

Could spies actually insert malicious chips into server circuit boards, as alleged in a bombshell Bloomberg report? Even if the story isn't completely accurate, it's plausible, a manufacturing ...

CHIPS Act doesn't go far enough to protect America's supply of microelectronics. Here's how to fix it. Printed circuit boards, which are in short supply in the U.S., are needed in technology from ...

Inexpensive circuit boards can work reliably with the fastest AMD quad-core Phenom processors when ... One of the problems is that some of the less-expensive boards claim support for 125-watt chips.

A bare chip that is mounted directly onto the printed circuit board (PCB). After the wires are attached, a glob of epoxy or plastic is used to cover the chip and its connections.

Speed kills, and when we are talking about printed circuit boards or chips, this is caused by distance. Last month, I was at DesignCon. This is the place to be for people who deal with high speed ...

The P0402FC05C Series of flip chip devices employ advanced silicon P/N junction technology for board-level transient voltage protection against electrostatic discharges (ESDs) and electrical fast ...

Addressing claim construction issues in inter partes review (IPR) proceedings before the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (Board), the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed an ...

Humans produce over 50 million tons of electronic waste every year, and nearly 80 percent of it remains unrecycled. A large part of this waste is composed of printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are ...

Technology Harmful chips hidden on circuit boards revealed by their power use. Careful observation of the power consumption of a circuit board can reveal telltale signs that an attacker has ...

The chip’s leads are bent around the package to form connections, and the SMDs bridge those “traces” to complete the circuit. [Danko] shows the build in step-by-step detail in the video below.
