Read Article EMI Shielding Techniques You Can Use in Your PCB Design Software Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is such a problem that governments around the world have placed limits on the amount of EMI an electronic device is allowed to generate or receive. Your electronic device needs to be designed to prevent unintentional radiation and suppress conducted noise up to a very high-frequency value. This is not a simple matter of adding filtering on every circuit in your PCB layout, it’s about considering the entire Read Article Designing for the FPGA Pin Mapper It is a well-known fact that FPGA IO names must meet specific syntax requirements in Verilog or VHDL. The naming convention used in Altium Designer schematics doesn’t always meet these criteria specified by the hardware description languages (HDL). As a result, there can often be a mismatch between PCB net names and the actual FPGA signal names. As more users experiment with the FPGA Pin Mapper tool in Altium Designer, they will discover that the Read Article What Target Impedance Should You Use in Your PDN? The target impedance in your PDN can be easily determined by looking at the datasheets for your components. Read Article Overlapping Planes in PCB Mixed-Signal Layouts Do you know which planes to overlap in your mixed-signal PCB layout? We’ll dig into these issues with overlapping planes at different potentials. Read Article Designing with Shock Management for Avionics PCBs Of all the electronics application areas, there is one that needs to consider mechanical and thermal shocks during design: avionics. An avionics designed system that is put into production within a satellite, aircraft, or spacecraft can experience strong vibration and mechanical shock during flight, and these systems need to be designed with high reliability in mind. IPC standards, MIL-PRF standards, and other standards specify some design Read Article Macrofab: Modern EMS Solutions in North America Macrofab offers a better electronics manufacturing experience for the customer. Chris Church, Founder and Chief Product Officer at MacroFab, Inc. tells us more in this OnTrack episode. Read Article Get the Most From Switching Your Power Supply Design Software to Altium Power supplies can be difficult to design and layout as they require attention to safety and efficiency. Everything from isolation to thermal management needs to be considered in these systems, and designers need to have a complete set of design features to create reliable power supplies. In addition, power supplies tend to have mechanical constraints imposed by the enclosure, and these need to be considered when creating a PCB layout for a power Read Article High-Speed PCB Design Guidelines and Techniques in Altium Designer High-speed PCB layout and routing can be complex and requires many diverse considerations. Important high-speed layout techniques and routing guidelines for your design span everything from trace widths on transmission lines to ground pour clearances, return path tracking, defined characteristic impedance, and much more. Simple design software packages simply can’t handle all of these constraints at once, leaving the circuit board designer to Read Article Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ Page42 Current page43 Page44 Page45 Page46 Page47 Next page ›› Last page Last » Load More
