Practical Guide | PCB Layout and Wiring to Effectively Solve Noise Issues

Noise issues are four words that every circuit board designer will hear. To solve noise problems, it often takes hours of laboratory testing to identify the culprit, only to find that the noise is caused by improper layout of the switching power supply. Addressing such issues may require designing a new layout, leading to product … Read more

PCB Layout Routing: Similarities with Life

PCB Layout Routing: Similarities with Life

1. Layout should come before routing; no matter how detailed the routing is, if the layout fails, it is all in vain. Life is similar; one must have ideals and long-term plans. 2. If one only seeks comfort in early routing, later detours will lead to dead ends. Life is the same: endure hardships for … Read more
