State of PCB Design Education with Zachariah Peterson Zach Peterson shares his insights about the availability and accessibility of education related to PCB design for high school and university students. Watch or listen on the go now. Read Article How to Design a Connector Pinout For Your PCB PCB connector pinouts can be customized to fit your power, signal, and ground requirements. Learn how in this article. Read Article Ceramic Capacitors Maximum Voltage and Derating Operating just about any capacitor below its maximum rated voltage ensures a longer operating life. A capacitor's performance will degrade in response to the application of voltages approaching their rated limit and exposure to high temperatures. By choosing to limit the applied voltage, those degradation effects can be reduced. Ceramic capacitors are one of the most common types of capacitors that are in use today thanks to their compact Read Article Resistor Power Derating to Improve Mean Time Between Failure All resistors have a specified power rating that determines the maximum energy they can convert without its performance degrading or the component failing. Read now to learn more. Read Article Methods of Circuit Protection Overvoltage, overcurrent, and heat are the three most likely events that can destroy our expensive silicon-based components or reduce our product’s life expectancy. The effects are often quite instant, but our product might survive several months of chronic overstress before giving up the ghost in some cases. Without adequate protection, our circuit can be vulnerable to damage, so what should we do? Or do we need to do anything? For instance, if Read Article Low-Cost Verification for Digital and Analog Filters In Low Cost Solutions for Automated Hardware in the Loop Testing, we reviewed the idea of using low-cost testing devices to validate our hardware designs. In this article I want to zoom in on a specific application that can have a high barrier to entry when it comes to verification: Digital Signal Processing (DSP), specifically signal filtering. Rather than belabor the topic of DSP I will define it simply as “digitizing signals that come into Read Article AltiumLive Co-locates with IPC Apex Expo Two executives are joining us in today’s episode. Ted Pawela of Altium and IPC VP Dave Bergman. Join us and learn what’s coming in AltiumLive 2022 and IPC Apex 2022.

Read Article Take Control of Your PCB Supply Chain with Altium Designer and Altium 365 Circuit board manufacturing should be simple, but today's supply chain challenges can delay or derail any design that gets sent in for PCB fabrication and assembly. Today's major challenges in the PCB supply chain include trouble sourcing parts, logistics challenges when managing multiple suppliers, delays in production and delivery, and high costs when stocks get low. Many design teams still make the mistake of waiting until the end of a design Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page45 Current page46 Page47 Page48 Page49 Page50 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
