A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

As part of an aggressive expansion program, the company adds controlled-impedance capabilities to its arsenal of design resources with the installation of a Burkle 6-opening vacuum press, Polar TDR ...

PCB design starts off being a relatively easy affair — you create a rectangular outline, assign some component footprints, run some traces, and dump out some Gerber files to send to the fab. Then as ...

A Zobel is an impedance matching circuit often used with loudspeakers. A Zobel circuit is also known as a Boucherot cell or somewhat incorrectly as an RC snubber. The nominal impedance of a ...

This article introduces the basic concept of PXI-Express (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation-Express) and studies the key considerations for modular hardware PCB layout design to achieve PXI-Express ...
