When designing a printed circuit board, there are certain rules. You should place decoupling capacitors near the power pins to each chip. Your ground planes should be one gigantic fill of copper; two ...
The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum has added some beautiful PCB Metro Map bookmarks to its souvenir store.
When tasked with a current sensing requirement, designers typically look first to using dedicated resistors designed for this task. Occasionally though there is the temptation to consider sensing ...
In a recent video [QWZ Labs] demonstrates an interesting technique to use 3D printing to make creating custom PCBs rather ...
Manufacturing challenges below 8mil. When drill to trace spacing falls below 8 mil, the PCB moves into a far more complex manufacturing zone. Standard mechanical drilling is often insufficient, and ...
Today’s electronic devices market demands miniaturized printed circuit boards (PCBs) with a multitude of high-speed functions integrated on a single board. This causes the designers to have traces ...
The data sheet for the LT3080 linear voltage regulator suggests using printed-circuit-board (PCB) traces for ballast resistors. Although the LT3080’s low offset voltage suits it well for this ...
When PCB traces are in close proximity, they can talk to each other through the capacitor created by these traces. This type of cross-talk can wreak havoc as you try to combine analog and digital ...
High-power electronics demand much more from printed circuit boards than standard gadgets do. When your design needs to safely handle tens or even hundreds of a ...
