Texas Instruments (TI) has secured a $1.6 billion award from the U.S. government under the CHIPS and Science Act to support the construction of three new 300mm wafer fabs in Texas and Utah. This funding will bolster TI's efforts to increase domestic semiconductor production, ensuring a reliable supply of essential analog and embedded processing chips for various industries. The company is committed to sustainable manufacturing practices, including the use of renewable energy and water conservation initiatives. TI's investment in these new fabs will create thousands of jobs and contribute significantly to the U.S. semiconductor industry. #TexasInstruments #TI #CHIPSandScienceAct #chips #chipmanufacturing #semiconductor #semiconductors #semiconductormanufacturing #semiconductorindustry #USA #innovation #technology #technologynews #sustainability

When adding stitching vias to a PCB, strategic placement is crucial. It's essential to position them around the edges of critical components, high-speed signal traces, and ground planes. This ensures effective shielding and enhanced signal integrity. The appropriate size and spacing of stitching vias are chosen based on your application's specific requirements and the PCB's material. #PCBdesign
