What Is a PCV Valve? The acronym PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. The PCV valve is a one-way valve that forms part of your vehicle’s PCV system — an integral component in the management of gases produced during engine operation. In simple terms, the PCV valve is responsible for ventilating the crankcase, a part...
In many circuits, the system crystal oscillator operates at a high clock frequency, which produces strong harmonic interference. These harmonics not only propagate through the input and output lines but also radiate through space. Therefore, if the PCB layout of the crystal oscillator is not designed properly, strong spurious radiation problems can easily occur. Once...
Why EMC Matters in PCB Design Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is a key requirement in modern PCB design, ensuring that electronic systems operate reliably without generating or being affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI). Proper PCB layout—especially GND routing, trace spacing, and layer design—plays a decisive role in reducing ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and improving overall signal integrity....
Why PCB Pad Soldering Process Matters In PCB manufacturing, the pad surface finish or soldering process directly affects component solderability, electrical performance, and long-term reliability.Different processes offer varying degrees of oxidation resistance, flatness, and cost efficiency, making proper selection essential for every PCB design project. This article categorizes and compares the most common PCB pad...
The Importance of Via Placement in PCB Design In PCB design, via positioning plays a crucial role in ensuring electrical performance, manufacturing reliability, and signal integrity. Improper via placement—especially placing vias directly on component pads—can lead to soldering defects, electrical noise, and higher production costs. This article explains why vias should be staggered from pad...
