Embedded Technology for Liberal Arts Students: STM32 PCB Design

Embedded Technology for Liberal Arts Students: STM32 PCB Design

1. STM32 and Selection 1.1 STM32 vs 51 Microcontroller Both STM32 and 51 are types of small computer chips that allow us to write code and store it within. For example, we can control a pin to switch between 5V and 0V, connecting an LED to this pin to achieve a blinking effect. This operation … Read more

How To Simplify Impedance Design On PCBs

How To Simplify Impedance Design On PCBs

What Is Impedance? Isn’t It The Same As Resistance? Regarding impedance (Impedance), I have found that many newcomers to this concept often confuse it with resistance (Resistance). This confusion may arise because both terms contain the character for “resistance” in Chinese, and both units are expressed in Ω. Additionally, impedance and resistance are related to … Read more
