In the process of learning electronics, we often encounter Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and Integrated Circuits (ICs). Many people find it hard to distinguish between these two concepts. In fact, they are not that complicated. Today, we will clarify the differences between PCBs and integrated circuits. What is PCB? PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is an … Read more
Many people studying electronics often encounter the technical terms Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Integrated Circuit (IC), but they frequently confuse these two concepts and even misuse them in reports, leading to criticism. The root cause lies in insufficient understanding of PCBs and integrated circuits. Therefore, today we will clarify the differences between PCBs and … Read more
E Course Network Integrated Editing Integrated circuits (ICs) are a type of microelectronic device or component. By using a specific process, various components required in a circuit, such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, and inductors, are interconnected and fabricated on a small piece or several pieces of semiconductor wafers or dielectric substrates, and then encapsulated in … Read more
For a long time, communication between microcontrollers (MCUs) has been a learning challenge for many electronic engineers. Since different MCUs may use different voltage levels, many beginners are curious about how these MCUs can communicate. Let’s take a look! Generally speaking, communication between MCUs relies on digital signals, where the voltage level of the digital … Read more
