Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...
What are single- and double-sided PCBs and how do they differ? What are the advantages of symmetrical and thin layer structures? How materials influence PCB selection. The choice of PCB design is an ...
In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...
Part 3 of this series on PC board design for low EMI discussed partitioning and why that’s important to keep “noisy” signal fields from cross-coupling to “quiet” signal fields within the board’s ...
When it comes to things that hackers build, PCBs are a sizeable portion of our creative output. It’s no wonder – PCB design is a powerful way to participate in the hardware world, making your ideas ...
An automatic test equipment (ATE) PCB (a.k.a. a test board) is at the heart of all major test activities targeted at verifying a specific semiconductor chip’s functionality. An automatic test ...
The DesignCon Spring Break virtual webinar series was anything but dull. Daniel Beeker, Senior Principal Engineer at NXP Semiconductor, shared a field-based perspective on high-speed PCB design.
