Designing circuit boards that satisfy the many and sometimes competing objectives from stakeholders is not easy. And traversing the PCB design engineer’s journey efficiently and most effectively can seem impossible. What engineers need is support from those with an understanding of the challenges and are positioned to influence the process, as well as the outcome. IC manufacturers can be essential influencers in filling this void by connecting with designers and providing the components, data and information that can smooth the path to successful board designs.
Accelerated Designs is dedicated to being the industry leader in providing the best connections and integrations for component manufacturers, OEMs, and PCB designers that not only promote, but ensure efficient, effective, and cost-effective circuit board design. In this ebook, we describe the PCB design engineer’s journey and highlight pain points you should know, and give you a road map for elevating your influence, which will culminate in lasting and symbiotic relationships with your clients.
