When performing SMT (Surface Mount Technology) processing on PCBs, the PCBs are conveyed along the SMT production line via guide rails. Therefore, a pair of edges must be reserved as forbidden areas for component placement. Typically, the two long edges of the PCB or the assembled panel are designated as the conveyance edges. The width … Read more
Route according to the 50-ohm impedance line width, try to route from the center of the pad, keeping the lines straight and preferably on the top layer. When a bend is necessary, make it at a 45-degree angle or as an arc, preferably bending near capacitors or resistors. If routing meets the matching requirements of … Read more
Editor’s Note: The content of this article is quite concise. The first two factors are introduced using ADS simulation schematics, and those interested can follow along. Many buses have requirements for loss, so for design engineers, it is essential to understand which factors dominate the changes in loss. We often discuss the issue of loss … Read more

Most engineers send the PCB files or Gerber files to the manufacturer and then wait for the boards to be returned. However, many hardware development professionals may work for years without the opportunity to visit a PCB manufacturing facility to see the entire production process. Today, I will take you on a tour to see … Read more
1. Concept of PCB PCB (Printed Circuit Board), known in Chinese as 印制电路板, is an important electronic component that serves as a support for electronic components and provides electrical connections between them. It is called a “printed” circuit board because it is made using electronic printing technology. 2. Role and Function of PCB in Various … Read more
1 What is Reliability? Reliability refers to “trustworthy” or “dependable,” indicating the ability of a product to perform its specified functions under defined conditions and for a specified period. For end products, the higher the reliability, the greater the assurance of use.PCB reliability refers to the ability of a “bare board” to meet the production … Read more
We have seen many microrobots, many of which are inspired by insects, some of which can intentionally or unconsciously act collectively to complete a “task” such as bees, locusts, and ants… Recently, researchers from the University of Bordeaux in France discovered that unconscious microrobots can collaborate like collectively acting insects and move barriers! The experiment … Read more
What does the strongest climbing robot in history look like? Drumroll, the answer is revealed— Don’t be fooled by its small size; it has conquered almost all types of terrain! It belongs to the family of miniature soft robots, and in addition to basic surfaces like walls, slopes, and ceilings, it can traverse cylindrical surfaces, … Read more
On July 7, Yaskawa Electric (China) Co., Ltd., one of the four major robotics giants, held a product launch event at the 6th China International Robot Exhibition, unveiling the new generation of compact robots, the MOTOMAN-GP series, specifically designed for the 3C industry, along with the accompanying control cabinets. This “artifact” tailored for the 3C … Read more
