The main challenge to develop the device was that it must function properly in extremely remote and harsh conditions. These devices are used in deserts, monsoon areas, mountaintops, and rainforests. Frontline health workers go door-to-door—or tent-to-tent, or even cookfire-to-cookfire—and the devices get wet, dirty, dropped on the floor, jostled around the backs of jeeps, thrown in backpacks and rucksacks, and “borrowed” by children. Developing a robust product was very high on Simprints’ list of priorities.

Embedded electronics are an increasingly vital part of modern technology—learn how they are projected to grow in the next decade.

When designing boards for fast-scan cyclic voltammetry, it is essential to follow the considerations given in this blog.

Waterproofing electronics materials is a great way of protecting them from moisture. Here are some of the most popular methods.

Mechanical hysteresis happens when a system's physical response to input is delayed so the system state changes between the input receipt and the response.

A look at ineffective methods of training, and how good PCB design training can help you design a better board.

This article describes what PCB test points are and how they are used, as well as how PCB design software generates them in a circuit board design.

Conformal coating is a process that covers a PCB or component with a protective film barrier against mechanical and chemical damage.

This article describes layout constraint management in PCB design, it’s importance, and some of the benefits that constraint management in layout will yield.

Performing the right testing on your bare board PCBs can ensure that you don’t run into costly mistakes down the line, delaying your production timeline.
