We’ve always been fascinated by things that perform complex electronic functions merely by virtue of their shapes. Waveguides come to mind, but so do active elements like filters made from nothing but ...

This is the continuation of a series where I create a PCB in every software suite imaginable. Last week, I took a look at KiCad, made the schematic representation for a component, and made a schematic ...

Stackups can range from the simplest four-layer PCB to complex stackups requiring sequential lamination. Let's take the humble four-layer PCB. PCB designers not familiar with fabrication may be ...

In today’s electronics industry, compact, efficient, and versatile PCBs are in high demand. Rigid-flex technology allows engineers to design boards that bend and flex without compromising performance ...

One of the most common issues I see with schematic and PCB layout is crossed wires. For example, the designer has connected the USART peripherals transmit line to the transmit line of the receiving ...
