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 ...

Every PCB designer has experienced it. A design progresses through schematic capture and layout only to reveal problems during verification, simulation, design review, or manufacturing preparation. A ...

It’s been a while, but I still visit the fundamentals of PCB design and troubleshooting. It is very effortless to generate unwanted signals that suddenly dance across the board. This acquired noise ...

Electrical verification and sign-off of a printed circuit board (PCB) is a challenging, tedious, and manual process. If time permits, this visual inspection to catch errors that might cause costly ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) substrate material, like FR-4 glass epoxy, is a poor conductor of heat. Conversely, copper is an excellent conductor of heat. So, more copper area on a PCB is ideal from a ...

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 ...
