The purpose of this document is to help the user understand how to design a good PCB layout with reducing noise performance. A thorough system evaluation is necessary after taking the countermeasures ...

It’s been a while, but I still visit the fundamentals of PCB design and troubleshooting. It is very effortless to generate unwanted signals that suddenly dance across the board. This acquired noise ...

Moore’s law, applied to data rates, has pushed PCB circuits so fast that the layout becomes part of the circuit. In designs such as DDR3 and PCIe, the fastest memory and high-speed serial performance ...

It is a good day for design review! Today’s board is the MuBook, a Lattepanda Mu SoM (System-on-Module) carrier from [LtBrain], optimized for a NAS with 4 SATA and 2 NVMe ports. It is cheap to ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

KiCAD (pronounced ‘keycad’) is a capable open-source pcb layout tool, which recently reached version 6. I have been trying to use the software, and feel stuck an ‘just muddling thorough’. In search of ...

KiCAD EDA is a free, open-source, and cross-platform electronic design automation suite. This software contains three different modules including Schematic Editor, PCB Layout, and 3D Viewer. Schematic ...

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...

WEBENCH® PCB Export, a feature in TI's online WEBENCH Power Designer, enables engineers can use to quickly create a power supply printed circuit board (PCB) layout and export it to industry-leading ...
