Introduction The Internet is full of articles documenting successful electronic development projects showcasing the developer's skills and knowledge. However, this casts a somewhat unbalanced view of the reality of the development process, where not all projects run smoothly or succeed. However, the projects that don't go to plan often have the most valuable lessons to teach. So, to adjust the balance, here's a story about a prototype that didn...

There is a popular misconception that pull-up resistors are always required or necessary on the lines in a SPI bus. I am here to tell you unequivocally that pull-up resistors are not always required on an SPI bus in order for it to perform its basic function of sending and receiving digital data. The buffer in an SPI interface has a push-pull topology which (at a high-level) involves high-side and low-side switching MOSFETs, essentially forming...

I've had multiple people ask me about a particular kind of 4-layer PCB stackup which uses a dedicated layer for power. No, it is not the SIG/GND/PWR/SIG stackup, of which I am in favor of in specific types of power systems. This stackup is the SIG/GND/PWR/GND stack up, which is a kind of stackup I have not contemplated in the past. Sure, it is very similar to the SIG/GND/PWR/SIG stackup in that we have a dedicated layer for power, and the bottom...
