We have all seen Printed Circuit Board (PCB) antennas: those squiggly bits of traces on PCBs connected often to a Bluetooth, WiFi or other wireless communication chip. On modules like for the ESP82… ...

After graduating from the University of New Mexico, he became interested in robotics. Ales wanted to design circuits for robots using his Linux box, but found that no suitable applications running on ...

Using design rule checks is a quick way to locate potential sources of EMI. Though rule-based checking is not perfect, it provides many user benefits. 3-D EM simulation is commonly used to simulate ...

Today, we revisit another board from [Exentio] – a HDMI/DVI to LVDS transmitter for the Sony Vaio P display. This board is cool to review – it has a high-speed serial interface, a paral… ...

Many PCB design tools include EMC rule checkers. Checks include looking at the design data geometry for instances where signal crosstalk may occur (because of parallel-routed traces), instances of ...

This article shares some useful design guidelines for analog and digital circuits. What are the differentiating factors that PCB designers need to know?

Editor Bill Wong takes a hands-on look at Sensepeek’s PCBite kit. PCBite consists of a metal base that works with spring-loaded magnetic standoffs and flexible arms with a magnetic base (see ...

Moving PCB production in-house can save over 60% in prototyping time, produce better products, and have an impact on the supply chain. More companies and universities are integrating 3D printing ...
