How to Reduce Common-Mode Noise in Your Power Supply with Impedance Balancing You can use impedance balancing to reduce conducted common-mode noise in your power supply. Here’s how it works and some experimental results. Read Article Using Altium 365 to Share Simulations in the Cloud Altium 365 allows you to share your cloud simulation models and data with your signal integrity team and test engineer. Read Article How to Design and Fabricate the Best 4 Layer PCB Stackup with Altium Designer Among multi-layer stackups, four-layer stackups are probably the most common type of PCB stackup. Four-layer stackups allow for high-speed routing, integration of high power, and multiple signal layers where needed. In instances where routing islands need to be carved out above different ground or power regions in the PCB, four-layer stackups give you enough space with ground planes to implement such strategies. Although four-layer PCB stackups Read Article Customize Your PCB Drill Sizes With Altium Designer Every PCB will need some holes, vias, slots, and other features that are defined in a PCB layout. These features need to be reflected in fabrication documents, and designers need tools to help them automate this process of creating documentation directly from their designs. It’s easy to keep track of your holes, vias, electrical behavior, and much more in Altium Designer, the industry’s top PCB design application for professional design engineers Read Article Design Your Metal Core PCB in Altium Designer Most printed circuit boards use a thick FR4 core layer to provide structural stability and interior copper layers for a multilayer PCB. If problems like excessive heat and low thermal dissipation are required in your particular application, you might consider designing with a metal core PCB. You’ll see other advantages like greater structural integrity, as well as a natural EMI shield thanks to the internal metal core. These circuit boards Read Article IPC Classes and Complying with IPC Standards for PCB Design Whether you work in electronics design, manufacturing, or even defense, the alphabet soup of standards organizations is extensive and may seem daunting. The IPC standards are among the most widely accepted and important standards for PCB design and manufacturing. IPC standards will influence how a designer creates their board and how they will prepare it for production in different industries. These standards are meant to ensure performance and Read Article Electronic Component Shortages Report from IHS What are the coping strategies available for PCB Designers to face the challenging impact of component shortages in the industry? Watch and learn in this episode with expert Greg Wood of IHS. Read Article New Dimensions of PCB Simulation and Modeling In this interview, they discuss why they developed this software and what solutions they can now offer design engineers. Read Article How to Speed Up Your DFM Report View Process in the Cloud Make sure your design will be produced with high quality and yield with our DFM report guidelines. You’ll want to perform DFM analysis at multiple stages during the design process. Read Article Antipad Diameter, Crosstalk, and IBM’s Results from IPC APEX EXPO 2021 Interlayer crosstalk begins with antipad diameters, and IBM’s results help us see how antipad diameter on back-drilled PTHs affect signal integrity. Read Article RF Microstrips and Ground Plane Clearance: How Close is Too Close? Make sure to account for microstrip ground clearance when using copper pour on the surface layer. We’ll examine what happens with microstrips, striplines, and coplanar waveguides. Read Article How to Design Castellated Holes and Edges in a PCB for an SMD Module Modules on small PCBs can be quickly surface-mounted to a carrier board with castellated holes. Here’s how you can design castellated edges. Read Article Reinventing the Business of Electronics Altium’s Chief Ecosystem Officer, Ted Pawela, and Altium’s Chief Software Architect, Leigh Gawne, join us to give us information about the launching of Nexar—an open ecosystem with zero cost. Read Article Complete Guide to DFM Analysis Make sure your design will be produced with high quality and yield with our DFM analysis guidelines. You’ll want to perform DFM analysis at multiple stages during the design process. Read Article Wideband Signal Processing and Analysis in Ultra-high Speed PCB Design Wideband signal analysis may seem like black magic, but it does more than create pretty graphs. Read our introduction to wideband signal analysis to learn more. Read Article Serial Communications Protocols: Part Seven - 1-Wire Many Serial Communication Protocols are available for transferring data between electronic devices, whether that’s a microcontroller reading data from a sensor or sending data to a storage device. This is one of a series of articles that will cover some of the more popular protocols in common usage. We’ll complete the series with a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each. My aim is that the series will prove to be a useful Read Article Serial Communications Protocols Part Six - I2C In this next installment in our series on serial communications protocols, we’re looking at the popular I 2C protocol. This follows on from the preceding articles where we are looking at some of the different types of Serial Communication Protocols available. These provide a practical solution to the transfer of data between devices over reasonably short distances. Typical applications include the capture of large amounts of data from data Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page54 Current page55 Page56 Page57 Page58 Page59 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
