This simple micro ampere meter circuit can help in measuring small currents in five ranges: from 1 µA to 10 mA. The meter is working in this way: the current being measured Ix shifts the input v...
This is a very simple square wave generator circuit built with IC 74LS00 that can generate square signals with frequencies between 20 Hz and 1 MHz. Its stability is good enough for most applications. ...
The JFET-input operational amplifiers in the TL07x series are similar to the TL08x series, with low input bias and offset currents and fast slew rate. The low harmonic distortion and low noise make th...
When we design for reliability, we usually focus on high-quality components operated conservatively and well within their absolute maximum specs. We expect such designs to become technically obsolete ...
I was able to interview a few people from Sunstone about rapid prototyping and the PCB industry for research for my article on perfect prototypes (see Tap New Technologies To Produce Practically Perfe...
From remote control airplanes to military applications for rockets, CadSoft Eagle PCB design software is used widely among hobbyists and professionals for designing circuits. Since its acquisition by...
It’s never been more important than in the current economic climate to get products to market with development costs held as low as possible. One of the ways that systems manufacturers can achieve tha...
The IPC-2581 PCB design-data transfer format strives to be an open format that spans a growing ecosystem of OEMs, EDA vendors, DFM/documentation tools, and CAM/manufacturing providers. The IPC-2581...
Several browser-based PCB design tools have emerged in the past couple of years, yet the vast majority of designers are still using the same desktop applications that have dominated the EDA industry f...
The myriad challenges of designing a chip on its own range from functional correctness to power and signal integrity and manufacturability. Chips do not exist in isolation. Instead, they must be integ...
Zuken’s Design Force tool is adept enough to handle design of system-in-package devices with through-silicon-vias on a PCB. System design has long been a highly complex affair, often comprising mul...
It is always good to know a bit of PCB terminology. Here is a reference table with the most common words. Bookmark it (Ctrl-D) and use it for when you stumble upon any PCB words that you don’t know...
A printed circuit board (pcb) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-cond...
To create a PCB design you need to draw the holes, pads and wires you want and send this drawing to a manufacturer. Sounds hard? Don’t worry, there are many free tools out there that will help you do...
The impedance of the impedance: the wiring is determined by the copper and the weight of the cross sectional area. L oz copper has, for example, o. 49 m Ω/per unit area of impedance. Capacitance: wi...
Powering electronic circuits for the first time and realizing that it really works – it’s the best feeling in the world! Nothing else matters, because you just made your circuit work =) This amazing ...
With ever-changing technology in the world of industrial manufacturing, manufacturers of printed circuit boards are always producing new products, and discontinuing boards that are currently in produc...
I may be a nerd, but it just seems like circuit boards make everything better. They are all shiny and full of circuits. And when you make dragons from old circuit boards, they look pretty amazing. The...
Driver is from Intl-outdoor.com, but it looks like it has been removed from his shop. Official specifications•Optimized for 3-4*XM-L LED in series, Low voltage protection and Thermostat protect...
