Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of electronic devices to function harmoniously in their electromagnetic environment without causing or being affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI). The goal of EMC design is to enable electronic devices to resist external interference while minimizing the electromagnetic interference they emit to surrounding devices. 1. Selecting the Right Wire Width Minimizing inductance...

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the backbone of electronic circuits, organizing and supporting all circuit components. Effective PCB design not only assembles components efficiently but also prevents errors caused by manual wiring. This article highlights five essential PCB design principles that enhance power supply design and improve overall performance. 1. Maintain a Logical Direction Segregate Signals: Group inputs/outputs,...

Introduction: Addressing signal integrity (SI) issues early in the PCB design process can streamline the design and eliminate the need for corrective termination devices later. Here, we outline critical steps to maintain signal integrity, from planning through testing. 1. Preparation Before Design Begin by defining your SI requirements and design strategy. Early-stage planning will guide component selection,...

Solution Refinement and Layout: As the demand for smaller and more portable electronic devices continues to grow, the design of RF and microwave circuits is shifting towards more compact and efficient solutions. In high-frequency circuit design, the choice of PCB materials is crucial for determining circuit size, performance, and signal propagation characteristics. RT/duroid® 6010.2LM, a high-frequency...

PCB design is a delicate balance of electrical and thermal considerations, with the relationship between current and line width being a cornerstone of reliable circuit functionality. While many empirical formulas, tables, and software tools exist online to guide this aspect of design, this article consolidates the most useful references to assist engineers in optimizing PCB layouts....

1. Should the dead copper be removed in PCB design? Some people say that it should be removed. The reasons are probably: 1. It will cause EMI problems. 2. Enhance the ability to engage in interference. 3. Dead copper is useless. Some people say that it should be kept. The reasons are probably: 1. Sometimes a...

Thermostats are an essential part of our daily lives and industrial systems, regulating temperature to maintain stable conditions in both equipment and environments. However, to ensure thermostats operate reliably under various conditions, the core technology behind them—PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design—must meet high standards. This article explores the key factors to consider when designing a...

Rigid boards are known for their joined-up look. While PCBs are in huge demand nowadays, flexible boards are the latest innovation in the industry. Flexible-rigid and flex-flex PCBs are the result. Rigid-flex PCB combine both rigid and flexible layers, while flex boards use only flexible materials. Flexible PCBs, on the other hand, allow for complete customization....
