What do you do when a PCB is cracked or even broken in two? [MH987] has a plan: superglue the board back and then bridge the traces with solder, solder paste, or wire. The exact method, of course, ...
When [Taylor Burley] first opened up the cartridge for The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, it certainly didn’t look like it had been dunked in corrosive orange juice. But looks can be deceiving, ...
A frequently asked question during Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout review meetings is, “Are 50-ohm traces being used for the digital signals in this PCB layout?” Often the answer to this question ...
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 ...
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 ...
How a point-of-load converter helps enhance voltage characteristics. How to reduce PCB resistance and parasitic inductance with proper converter placement. A monolithic PoL solution. Proximity to ...
A very long time ago, in the “old days” of lower frequencies and discrete point-to-point wiring, what was mostly needed to build a physical circuit was schematic, a fulfilled BOM, and perhaps an ...
