So you are working on a DIY electronic project. You have designed your own circuit and are now ready to put all the pieces together to create your own printed circuit board (PCB). Knowledge of creatin...
For a hobbyist, soldering a PCB is usually the most common form of soldering. The basic techniques are pretty easy to understand but there is still an amount of skill involved that can be mastered wit...
There are several effective methods for removing solder from a pcb hole. Excess solder filling a hole happens quite often. pcb board Usually, the clog is residual solder that occurs when an existing e...
1.Schematic PCB capture through an electronic design automation tool. 2.Card dimensions and template are decided based on required circuitry and case of the PCB. Determine the fixed components and he...
From 1957, China’s high tech electrical device development has experienced the mimicry stage, the stage of micro-innovation in the pcb prototypes and rapid development which are three stages. The fi F...
Starting in the 1940sPrinted circuits were first used in the 1940s to connect discrete components together. By the 1960s, PCBs were widely used in all electronic systems, but still mostly connecting d...
Continued pressure for electronic devices that provide greater functionality in ever-smaller form-factors is not only providing the driving force behind developing smaller surface-mount components and...
This week Mentor Graphics released its Xpedition platform, which squarely takes aim at simplifying board layout and place and route. Long gone are the days when each component could be considered a st...
PCB Design Best Practices: Six things to consider when making PCB component choices based on part footprints. All the examples in this article are developed using the NI Multisim design environment, h...
1. Use Good Naming ConventionsWhen considering file names for the schematic, consider using a naming convention that includes the revision number or letter to assist in configuration management. Befo...
In this article, we outline the “Golden Rules of PCB design,” most of which have stayed consistent for 25 years. Despite increasing levels of semiconductor integration and readily available systems-o...
PCB Design Best Practices: Here’s what you need to keep in mind for net management and managing PCB layers. All the examples in this article are developed using the NI Multisim design environment, how...
The Nintendo 3DS has recently seen a hardware revision which has seen the gaming console upgraded in size to the Nintendo 3DS XL. We’ve talked about different types of video games before with regards ...
How do I store my PCB?Immersion silver finished boards need to be packaged to prevent exposure to air circulation. This can be in a sealed bags or any similar container that will exclude the direct co...
Quality standards are highly important when manufacturing electronic printed circuit boards. PCBs are often produced in bulk, so any kind of fault that would hamper the effective operation of one PCB ...
HDI PCBs capitalize on the latest technologies available to increase the functionality of PCBs using the same or less amount of area. This advancement in PCB technology is driven by the miniaturizatio...
Rigid-flex circuitry provides a simple means to integrate multiple PCB assemblies and other elements such as display, input or storage devices without wires, cables or connectors, replacing them with ...
Conformal coating is a protective and non conductive coating that is applied onto the printed circuit board. This protects the electronic assembly from damage that may be due to contamination, salt sp...
Sometimes you need to use a device and it's only available in surface mount form. In this article I describe an experiment that I conducted in order to create a DIP adapter for an LGA-14 SMT component...
