Printed-circuit board layout is one of the last steps in the design process, but for high-speed circuits, it often proves to be one of the most critical. Many of today's high-speed amplifiers can ...

PCB design can limit the performance or reduce the reliability of a class-D amplifier if some basic layout guidelines are not followed. The following describes some good PC board layout practices for ...

Having a three-dimensional or 3D view of your PCB design is not a current or modern practice. In fact, it started long back with the emergence of PCB design tools. However, the requirement and ...

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

A lot of attention—and hype—has focused on bringing traditional office-productivity programs, such as the OpenOffice.org suite, to Linux. However, another important—and far less-hyped—area where Linux ...

The PCB design software market offers growth opportunities driven by digital twin integration, eco-friendly materials, and AI tools. Demand is spurred by consumer electronics growth, smart device ...
