Fundamental to careful system design of any DC/DC power converter is a well-planned and carefully executed printed circuit board (PCB) layout. An optimized layout leads to better performance, lower ...

Without PCB layout, not much would get done. It is a ubiquitous need across industries; Industrial, consumer, military…Everywhere you look, there are chips soldered to PCBs to create a final product ...

We see a lot of projects using Eagle for the schematics and PCB layout. There are a few that use Kicad, but we hear very little about other alternatives. Recently, [Limpkin] has been working with ...

A printed circuit board turns separate parts into a stable system that powers up, talks to peripherals, and survives real world stress. The printed circuit board distributes power, guides signals with ...

What is software defined radio (SDR) and how does it benefit modern communications and RF applications? RF/microwave PCB design for Radar and SDRs. Challenges of SDR PCB design and ways to overcome ...

From circuit simulation to embedded firmware testing and PCB design, Proteus lets you see how hardware and code work together ...

6. SOT-23 and SOIC packages are typically used in low-power motor drivers. Standard leaded packages, like SOIC and SOT-23 packages, are often used for low-power motor drivers (Fig. 6). To maximize the ...

I was looking over the week’s posts on Hackaday – it’s part of my job after all – and this gem caught my eye: a post about how to make your own RP2040 development board from scratch. And I’ll admit ...
