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.

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.

By making good use of current-voltage characteristics, as we describe in this blog, you can design more reliable PCBAs.

Designing analog ASICs should be performed with the same objectives of operational and structural reliability as for PCBA design, as we explain in this blog.

This article talks about what a PCB test point is, how it is used, and why it is important to the successful manufacturing of a printed circuit board.

In this blog, we compare FMECA vs fault tree analysis and answer the question of which one is better for your PCBA risk management. The answer may surprise you.

Learning how to test a circuit board is not as difficult as one would think. Here is a list of instructions and tools to ensure your design is functional.

Knowing how to find a short circuit in your design can save you a lot of time and money. Let’s look at how to do this and what to look for.

Converting capacitance to impedance is a necessary requirement for accurate AC circuit analysis.

The use of a figure of merit in electronic systems, as we explain in this blog, can help you improve the cost-effectiveness of your PCBA development.

Using power flow calculations to optimize your signals during design, as discussed in this blog, can shave time and costs from your board development process.

PCB assembly cost is a crucial component of any PCB design project. Here are a few key considerations with regard to PCB assembly cost.

This article describes how Design for Reliability processes impact component selection and circuit design.

In most cases, a VDC output power supply is a simple AC-to-DC converter that has a power supply voltage of 110 or 220 VAC, which it converts into VDC.

The use of FMEA and FTA analyses benefit a company throughout the design process, manufacturing process, and in-field use of their products.

Is physical testing for reliability really necessary? In this blog, we show how to use failure oriented accelerated testing (FOAT) and save unnecessary time and costs.

Knowing and applying the types of FEA analysis discussed in this blog will improve your design’s manufacturability and reliability.
