With the rapid development of miniaturization and complexity of electronic technology, precision, high density, high reliability, and miniaturization have become the general trend of printed circuit board development. Correspondingly, micro via in PCB also becomes a new trend in PCB layout design.
When there is a very complex circuit full of different components, how to guide a sophisticated machine assisted vision system to place a part with great accuracy? PCB Fiducial marks have been widely used among the industry, but the term not only relies for the electronics, but for many other industrial and research areas as common use to assist different machines and algorithms. In this article we will have a deep dive on the markers for the electronics industry.
A PCB contains a major electronic circuit or network that will contain different kind of components, and voltages and currents flowing throughout its vias. It is important to understand how PCB signal integrity works and should be performed appropriately to have a PCB working without noise/signal issue flows and comply to industrial or end device expected standards (e.g., EMI compliance)
PCB design mainly refers to the layout design, which needs to consider the layout of external connections, the optimal layout of internal electronic components, the optimal layout of metal connections and through-holes, electromagnetic protection, heat dissipation and other factors. In this article, we will fully explain what to know about PCB design.
EDA (Electronic Design Automation) refers to the computer software tool cluster used to assist in the completion of the entire process of ultra-large-scale integrated circuit chip design, manufacturing, packaging, and testing.
The dielectric constant is an indispensable factor in PCB impedance design, which refers to the ability to increase the energy storage capacity of the material relative to vacuum, which is an inherent electrical property of the material itself.
Printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) design is a key aspect of electronics development and involves creating functional electronics from scratch. PCBA design involves integrating various electronic components and devices onto a printed circuit board (PCB) to create functional electronic components. The design process for PCBA can be divided into several phases, each of which requires careful planning and execution to ensure a successful outcome.
EDA is an essential part of chip IC design and is an advanced form of a widely used technology that is part of the upstream industry of chip manufacturing, covering all processes of IC design, wiring, verification and simulation, etc. EDA is known as the “mother of all chips” in the industry. Here we list top 15 China Electronic Design Automation(EDA) companies in 2023.
Altium Designer is a basic PCB layout design software for almost every beginner who is occupied in the PCB industry. Although this software involves several functions, some still waste a lot of time because they only master simple functions. Hence, this article is to show some tips for Altium Designer beginners to solve common PCB layout problems.
Vias are one of the important components of multi-layer PCBs, which are used to achieve electrical connection among different layers of PCBs. In this article, there are some points that you should pay attention about PCB vias.
