High-Speed PCB Design Guidelines
Following High-Speed PCB Design Guidelines can help you avoid costly respins In the early days of electronics, printed circuit board (PCB) layout was often treated as “connecting the dots.” As long as the copper connected pin A to pin B, the circuit worked. Today, that approach is a recipe for failure. With modern processors, memory, […]
PCB Design in Audio: Techniques
Are you doing PCB design in audio? Discover how proper grounding, EMI layout, and verified CAD parts can clean up your audio signal path.
Jitter in PCB Design: Explained
Clock jitter in PCB design giving you headaches? Learn how layout, EMI & CAD-model accuracy impact timing, and what you can do about it with Ultra Librarian.
Electronic Component Schematic Symbols
When creating new electronics, designers and engineers must have a common language to describe the components that go into the new project. This language comes in the form of electronic component schematic symbols that unambiguously describe the position, type, and function of a component within a project.
PCB Component Library Comparison
For modern electrical engineers, the days of manually building every footprint and symbol from a datasheet are largely over, or at least, they should be. With tight deadlines and complex component packages, relying on a third-party CAD library is not just a convenience; it is a necessity for keeping project timelines on track. Choosing the […]
