Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

Analog circuit design guidelines. Digital circuit design guidelines. Differences in the guidelines between the two. Several products in the electronics industry require both analog and digital printed ...

As fascinating and challenging as the PCB design process can be, it is important to take all necessary precautions to ensure proper circuit operation, especially when dealing with high power PCBs. As ...

If the folks at ECM PCB Stator Technology have their say, applications for printed circuit board (PCB) stator motors will replace the bulky copper windings associated with electric motors. The ...

Ah, the autorouter. Inside every PCB design tool, there’s a function called the ‘autorouter’. This function, when used correctly, is able to automagically lay traces between pads, producing a perfect ...

The connection between mechanical and electrical concepts How to fit many components into a limited space. Proper communication is necessary when creating products in a team with diverse backgrounds.

• A flexible printed circuit is as much a mechanical device as it is an electrical device. • The neutral bend axis may not be in the exact middle of the material stack. • The reliability of flexible ...

The demand for reliable electronics manufacturing continues to grow, and businesses are actively searching for dependabl ...

This is the first of several articles in the PCB Design Best Practices series, which discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific ...
