PCBs Are Just One Part of Product Design PCBs Are Just One Part of Product Design PCBs power electronics, but real products need enclosures, software, and wiring. Discover how cross-discipline design turns boards into market-ready devices. Read Article
Can You Use Series and Parallel Termination on the Same Net? Can You Use Series and Parallel Termination on the Same Net? Series and parallel termination are the most common resistive termination options for digital signaling. The reason is that resistance is a wideband quantity and does not start to be affected by parasitics until well into the GHz range. At the channel bandwidth associated with most digital signals, there are cases where an unterminated line actually needs termination, even if there is no impedance specification in the interface. As both options Read Article

Baxandall Volume Control for Audio Baxandall Active Volume Control for Audio An Introduction to Baxandall Active Volume Control Inspired by Douglas Self’s book on audio electronics (‘Small Signal Audio Design’) and his power amplifier design consisting of a massively-parallel array of NE5532 op-amps, I set out to design a headphone amplifier that uses similar techniques but scaled down due to the lower power requirements. The resulting amplifier utilizes many NE5532 op-amps (the first version used 44 in total!) and is Read Article
Bridging the Gap between ECAD and MCAD: The Fusion 360 and Altium Designer Synergy Learn how to merge electronic design (ECAD) and mechanical design (MCAD) for successful product development. Learn how the integration of Altium Designer, Fusion 360, and Altium MCAD CoDesigner enables smooth collaboration, efficient design changes, and advanced geometry exploration. This synergy facilitates real-time data exchange, reduces errors, and leads to shorter design cycles and improved communication between design teams. Read Article
