Two Types of R&D Engineers in the PCB Industry

Two Types of R&D Engineers in the PCB Industry

There are two types of engineers in the PCB industry. One type of designer possesses specialized knowledge and adheres to strict design standards. Their network wiring, surface mount components, and text are well-organized, with reasonable layout in functional areas that facilitate production optimization. They communicate smoothly, are open to suggestions, work efficiently, and handle their … Read more

DIY PCB Circuit Board

DIY PCB Circuit Board

Last year, I assembled an amplifier board using two LM1875 chips for ceiling speakers in my shop, which has been in use ever since. Recently, I found a BBE sound exciter board online, which is said to enhance high-frequency details and improve low-frequency performance. However, since this BBE exciter board has its own bass and … Read more
