Printed circuit boards (PCBs) power almost every modern electronic device. Manufacturers use different methods to attach components to a PCB. The two common methods are Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) and Through-Hole Technology (THT). Both methods have different strengths. Understanding Surface-Mount Technology

Modern embedded devices do much more than control electronic systems. Today, they collect data, connect to networks, process information, and control physical equipment. As a result, security has become an important part of embedded product development. A security problem in

Embedded systems power products that interact with the physical world. From IoT sensors and industrial controllers to smart appliances and medical devices, these systems need firmware that responds quickly and reliably. However, engineers have an important decision to make when

Building a hardware product does not end when the prototype works. Instead, the team must ensure that the product can move smoothly from a working prototype to reliable production. A prototype may perform exactly as expected in the lab. However,

Introduction The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has connected billions of devices to homes, factories, healthcare systems, transportation networks, and other environments. Many of these devices need to operate continuously while consuming as little energy as possible. This
