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 ...

This paper will provide an overview of the most important aspects of the layout of boost step-up switching regulators and buck step-down switching regulators. There are many similarities in the key ...

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 ...

Guest Opinion: An electronic device needs the proper working of all of its components. These components are connected with an electric board that ensures that every component gets the required amount ...

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...

After my DIY article “Build Your Own Headphone Amp” in the May 25 issue, the good folks at Radio World asked me to share the process by which I make printed circuit boards. There are usually two ...

Just about every electronic contraption you care to think of contains at least one printed circuit board (PCB), which serves to house and connect the various components that allow the device to ...

What if the future of electric motors didn’t rely on bulky copper windings or heavy steel components? Ziroth outlines how Printed Circuit Board (PCB) motors are flipping the script on traditional ...
