Printed Circuit Design Issue (12/2000)

This is the seventh edition of The Board Authority (TBA) and my third as its industry guest editor. Unlike other publications, The Board Authority is the product of industry experts and the publication's Advisory Board. CircuiTree provides the editing, publishing, and most importantly, the financing, but we in the industry do the writing. If you have an issue with our product, join us to make it better. Since we are amateurs in the publishing business, we must acknowledge the contributions of Steve Gold, Peggy Lukkasson, Roger Whitehouse, Roy Sakelson, Mark Hammermeister, and others on the CircuiTree staff.

Our contributing authors did the majority of the work in this journal. I have recruited them from all walks of the printed circuit design community. Their contributions have made this TBA a truly unique piece of technical journalism. We thank them for contributing their time and expertise to make this TBA successful. Why printed circuit design? This is where it starts!

The fourteen articles in this edition are collected here to educate and inform you on the technologies, needs, issues, and solutions available today. The articles will briefly cover most of the elements in designing a printed circuit. This will provide education to many of you, and even some new ideas to the design experts that have authored this journal. I hope you all find value in—and enjoy—this issue of The Board Authority.
