Does AI make embedded systems engineers faster?
⏩ TL;DR It depends on the task, and most teams are not measuring it. A 2025 trial by METR found experienced developers took 19% longer with AI while believing they were faster, and the researchers now call that result out of date. In our 2026 survey of 281 UK electronics professionals, 40% say AI is […]
Keeping a sealed board cool with nowhere for the heat to go
No fan, no vents, no airflow. Here’s how to keep a densely packed board cool inside a sealed enclosure, from copper weight to component placement.
Routing dense boards without losing signal integrity or failing EMC
Dense boards squeeze your EMC margin. Use the 3H rule to set trace spacing, and check every layer transition so return current finds a short path.
Managing heat, microvias and EMC when shrinking embedded boards
Shrinking an embedded board shifts thermal limits and tightens EMC margins. A guide to HDI microvias, ground planes and SMT yield trade-offs.
