This document is an application note of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout techniques in operational amplifier precision design. It discusses the PCB effects experienced in high DC precision op ...

Electronic design trends include the use of open-source hardware designs and the open-source schematic and PCB layouts that accompany them. This growing trend is explained by the ease with which ...

Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...

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 ...

The Ball Grid Array, or BGA package is no longer the exclusive preserve of large, complex chips on computer motherboards: today even simple microcontrollers are available with those little solder ...

PCB design is a critical and complex process that involves multiple stages, from conceptualization and schematic creation to layout design and final manufacturing. Credit: adobe.stock.com As ...

KiCAD EDA is a free, open-source, and cross-platform electronic design automation suite. This software contains three different modules including Schematic Editor, PCB Layout, and 3D Viewer. Schematic ...

Generally, the PCB layout engineer will know where the package's external pins or pads are located, but will have little idea of the design of the ICs inside. This could turn out to be a hindrance to ...

Texas Instruments (TI) unveiled WEBENCH® PCB Export, a new feature in TI's online WEBENCH Power Designer tool that engineers can use to quickly create a power supply printed circuit board (PCB) layout ...

It is a good day for design review! Today’s board is the MuBook, a Lattepanda Mu SoM (System-on-Module) carrier from [LtBrain], optimized for a NAS with 4 SATA and 2 NVMe ports. It is cheap to ...
