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...
Virtually every electronic product is constructed with one or more printed-circuit boards (PCBs). The PCBs hold the ICs and other components and implement the interconnections between them. PCBs are c...
Placing ComponentsGenerally, it is best to place PCB parts only on the top side of the board.When placing components, make sure that the snap-to-grid is turned on. Usually, a value of 0.050" for the s...
Substrate is manufactured from thin sheets of a dielectric material bonded to a sheet of electrically conductive material. illustrates the first three steps of circuit board fabrication. Substrate is...
Harvey invents a device PCB that keeps a record of the telephone calls made from his phone. The design is relatively simple and is shown in Figure 15. However, PCB when it is hooked up to the phone li...
1.Select the Components PCBBegin your layout by adding the components. Select the parts from the Component Manager dialog box PCB. Many components (such as connectors) include Digi-key part numbers to...
1 Zenit pcbIs an excellent PCB Layout design software tool to create professional printed circuit board ( PCB ). It is a flexible easy to use CAD program, which allow you to realize your projects in a...
If solderability is in doubt, a simple test is to stencil solder paste on a bare board and then reflow it without components. If the joints look good, but there is still doubt, have a testing lab do a...
IntroductionThough the PCB design flow can be split a number of ways, it is best to think of it as having two fundamental stages: Prototyping and Product Development.Prototyping occurs at the earliest...
There are six main reasons to pcb board prototype:1. Fail early and inexpensively:Real innovation always includes a risk of failure. By building a prototype, you can quickly weed pcb board out the app...
There are multiple ways of creating a printed circuit board (PCB) for your electronics needs. One that's gaining widespread use is photo etching, which is the process of exposing laminate copper board...
Typical electronic circuit boards have large numbers of active and passive components. Some of these components are through-hole, meaning their terminals have leads that are passed through holes in th...
