“A small error on an ugly PCB layout is a big deal, but the same exact error on a nice looking PCB layout is a minor issue.” Every good PCB designer has the heart ...

In 1995, OrCAD had the most popular PC-based PCB (printed-circuit board)-schematic tool. Another popular tool was available from PADS, which Mentor Graphics now owns. Engineers designed PCB schematics ...

PCB design is a critical and complex process that involves multiple stages, from conceptualization and schematic creation to layout design and final manufacturing. Credit: adobe.stock.com As ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the development of SoC-based (system-on-chip) circuit boards, the SoC’s additional capabilities will provide ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

[Jan Rychter] was sick and tired of not being able to find the right power supply for his Nixie tube projects, so he decided to design his own. [Jan] started out designing around the MAX1771 (PDF) ...

Antennas are sensitive to their surroundings. Thus, when there’s an antenna on the PCB, the layout for the design should take the requirements of the antenna into account, as this can make a huge ...

This week, we’re continuing our Creating A PCB In Everything series, where we go through the steps to create a simple, barebones PCB in different EDA suites. We’re done with Eagle, and now it’s time ...
