Join Seve (founder of tscircuit) and Matt (founder of atopile) as they analyze modern PCB design tools and what is on the horizon for electronics development.
In this episode, the duo dives deep into:
The current state of PCB auto-routers and why engineers often distrust them
How chip auto-routers like Triton Route are revolutionizing silicon design
What PCB design could learn from silicon auto-routing algorithms
The importance of design intent in circuit board layout
Why USB-C port implementation often goes wrong (hint: it's about missing resistors!)
The challenge of impedance matching and differential pairs in PCB design
Plus fascinating tangents into:
Building link-based vs. net-based design systems
How parts availability and supply chain risk should influence your design choices
The advantages of smooth vs. orthogonal traces in circuit boards
Why government contracts should consider open-source requirements
The powerful role of risk tolerance in Silicon Valley's startup ecosystem
Whether you're a hardware engineer looking to improve your PCB designs, a startup founder navigating supply chain challenges, or just curious about the future of electronics design tools, this conversation offers unique insights from two founders at the cutting edge of hardware development.
Watch Seve and Matt break down the intricacies of modern PCB design and share their vision for the future of electronics development tools.
