This series of articles discusses the different steps of PCB development from the basics of creating a design schematic with specific requirements, to finalizing a board and preparing it for ...

(Note: This is Part 1 of a two-part article. Click here for Part 2.) SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuits Emphasis, often written as Spice) environment becomes an analysis platform of ...

Most every device and electronic piece of equipment is outfitted with a printed circuit board (PCB), including smartphones, TVs, appliances, and more. You know the composite. The boards are laminated ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. During impedance matching, a specific electronic load (R L) is made to match a generator output impedance (R g) ...

Even in today’s digital, IT-intensive radio plant, there is still a need to design and build one-of-a-kind electronic circuits. Simple devices such as digital tone generators and small distribution ...

In last month's “Code Basics” article, starting on page 56 of the September issue, we spent most of our time discussing Class 1 circuits. Now, it's time to switch gears and focus on Class 2 and 3.

True 3-D interconnects and packaging. Rigid PCBs are inherently 2-D. Rigid-flex, however, allows you to fold, bend and twist ...
