This is the continuation of a series where I create a PCB in every software suite imaginable. Last week, I took a look at KiCad, made the schematic representation for a component, and made a schematic ...
We’ve always been fascinated by things that perform complex electronic functions merely by virtue of their shapes. Waveguides come to mind, but so do active elements like filters made from nothing but ...
This capability was one of the first steps that transformed IPC-2581 from a simple output format into a full design data ...
Three independent design processes – chip, package, and PCB – are typically required for the latest electronic products which utilize increasingly complex systems on chip (SoCs) and multiple chips in ...
As the world is becoming increasingly virtual and software is replacing hardware, electrical and electronics engineers are trying to ride the same bandwagon with their tool of choice, PCB (Printed ...
According to the DfS insight, an instant analysis would indicate that this straightforward change could reduce PCB costs by 15 to 20% without impacting the prototype’s performance. This adjustment not ...
In today’s high-speed digital designs, signal-integrity issues such as reflections, excessive losses, and crosstalk can degrade system performance. There are techniques through the use of time-domain ...
In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...
