What is a high-speed Printed Circuit Board (PCB)? What effects bandwidth in my PCB design? These are a few of the FAQs we get asked by designers about creating high-speed PCB designs. Since PCB layout ...

In today’s industry, the layout of the system board has become an integral part of the design itself. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that the designer has an understanding of the mechanisms ...

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 ...

Understanding the mechanisms that affect the performance of high-speed signal chain designs is imperative. Some examples are IC grounding, decoupling and plane capacitance, plane coupling, and ...

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 ...

I was looking over the week’s posts on Hackaday – it’s part of my job after all – and this gem caught my eye: a post about how to make your own RP2040 development board from scratch. And I’ll admit ...

Advanced chip design is becoming a great equalizer for analog and digital at each new node. Analog IP has more digital circuitry, and digital designs are more susceptible to kinds of noise and signal ...
