When it comes to hardware, experience is key. Real-world cases can enhance experience; textbooks generally focus on theory, and case studies are either too few or not vivid enough. Therefore, this public account strives to write articles with practical case studies. I recently read an excellent book that discusses the theory of SMT manufacturing in … Read more
For embedded software engineers: For newcomers to the field, writing an I2C driver can take an entire night. They have to meticulously read through the chip manual line by line to understand the register definitions. For instance, when configuring the I2C clock for the STM32, one must first calculate the APB1 prescaler and then set … Read more
In the laboratory, he scans the traces on the circuit board as if strumming guitar strings, and the waveforms jumping on the oscilloscope are the electronic symphonies he composes. As the most ‘charged’ hardware engineer in the center, Engineer Zhang has firmly soldered his scientific faith with five years of unwavering research spirit, building the … Read more
In the embedded field, the positioning and development paths of different job roles vary significantly. Some focus on hardware debugging, others specialize in system development, while some move towards algorithms and application layers. What are the typical positions available? What are their skill requirements, job responsibilities, salary ranges, and career prospects? Today, we will compare … Read more
The issue of short circuits on circuit boards is frequently encountered in practical work. Some believe that only novice hardware engineers make mistakes with short circuits. This is not true; many experienced hardware engineers also face this problem. This issue is not only related to design but also closely tied to material quality and the … Read more
When hardware engineers first encounter multi-layer PCBs, it can be quite overwhelming. With layers often reaching ten, the circuits resemble a spider’s web. Today, I created several internal structure diagrams of multi-layer PCBs, using 3D graphics to showcase various layered structures within the PCB. 01 The Core of High-Density Interconnection Boards (HDI) Lies in the … Read more
