What is Burn-in Testing for Electronics?

What is Burn-in Testing for Electronics? Once you’re planning for production of any new board, you’ll likely be planning a battery of tests for your new product. These tests often focus on functionality and, for high speed/high frequency boards, signal/power integrity. However, you may intend for your product to operate for an extreme period of time, and you’ll need some data to reliably place a lower limit on your product’s lifetime. In addition to in-circuit tests, functional tests Read Article

What is a Schematic Netlist for Your PCB?

What is a Schematic Netlist for Your PCB? If you’ve created your next great schematic, there is a lot going on behind the scenes in your design software. The connectivity between components in your schematic can be reduced to a small number of logical and electrical identifiers. The schematic may provide a graphical picture showing connections between different components and pins, but to really understand everything about your design, you’ll need an important document. A schematic Read Article

PCB Land Pattern Design to the IPC-7351 Standard

The IPC-7351 Standard in PCB Footprints and Land Patterns Your components won’t attach to your PCB without land patterns, and it’s up to the designer to create compliant land patterns for components. One common question from new designers is: what should the pad dimensions be? Technically, the only constraints on a PCB land pattern are those imposed by fabricator DFM requirements. However, many designers opt for land patterns designed according to the IPC-7351 standard. This important standard provides Read Article
