Disassembling a Passive Probe: Exploring the Secrets Inside

Disassembling a Passive Probe: Exploring the Secrets Inside

01 What made me curious about passive probes It all started with a question: can a 1X passive probe be used to match a 50-ohm or 75-ohm system like a coaxial cable? Experienced individuals would immediately say no, because even a 1X probe has a significant resistor in series. I happened to have a broken … Read more

Low Power Design in Digital Chips

Low Power Design in Digital Chips

Power consumption is a critical performance metric in chips, sometimes even determining the success or failure of a chip. As is well known, the recent “Snapdragon Fire Dragon” incident significantly impacted the market share of this chip. For industrial-grade and automotive-grade chips, the impact of power consumption is not very apparent. However, for consumer-grade chips … Read more

What is Low Power Design and How to Evaluate Low Power MCU Performance?

What is Low Power Design and How to Evaluate Low Power MCU Performance?

Concept of Low Power In the design of embedded systems, low power design is a challenge that many designers must face. This is because embedded systems are widely used in portable and mobile products, which often do not have a constant power supply and rely on batteries for power. Therefore, designers consider every detail to … Read more

Summary of Low Power Design Methods for FPGAs

Summary of Low Power Design Methods for FPGAs

Accurate thermal analysis plays a crucial role in the design of many electronic products, particularly in high-end PCB design. The results of thermal analysis often influence the mechanical layer design of the PCB and the product’s enclosure: whether to install heat sinks, cooling fans, etc. If a cooling fan is installed, it often needs to … Read more
