PCB design guidelines are created as benchmarks for circuit design engineers to meet the industry standards. Following these guidelines will ensure better manufacturability and robust product ...

These conditions can introduce disturbances along the signal path between the sensor and the MCU, particularly in systems where longer PCB traces or wiring are required. While analogue current sensing ...

Keysight’s Electrical Performance Scan (EP-Scan) is a digital simulation tool for hardware engineers and PCB designers that performs rapid signal integrity analysis. EP-Scan provides diagnostics to ...

The annual DesignCon show in Santa Clara, CA, is a treasure trove for innovative ideas on technologies that can solve current and future challenges in power and signal integrity. As hot trends such as ...

While in the market for a memory upgrade recently, I was surprised by the availability of commercial DDR memories. You can get 8GB of DDR3 memory, transferring 17GB/s, relatively inexpensively. The ...

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 ...

Signal integrity (SI) can perhaps best be defined as a set of measures of the quality of electrical signals, which are subject to the effects of noise, distortion and loss. Additional signal integrity ...

Bert Simonovich has spent over five decades in electronics, starting with T1 line repeaters and backplanes in the telecom industry. Little did he know that his early work would lead him to become a ...

High-Speed Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology addresses these challenges by enabling efficient communication over ...

What is software defined radio (SDR) and how does it benefit modern communications and RF applications? RF/microwave PCB design for Radar and SDRs. Challenges of SDR PCB design and ways to overcome ...
