You really wouldn’t design an RF circuit like this. [Hans] shows the effect of interrupting the signal return path on a physical test PCB.

Not every design needs large bus bars; some only need smaller, localized ones or PC board-mounted bus bars. This part looks ...

In this series, we take a standard reference circuit and PCB layout — a simple ATtiny85 board — and build it with different PCB design tools. We’ve already covered Eagle in this series.

The evolution of PCB from a simple radio circuit with copper layers to the multi-layer flexible boards marks a tremendous advancement.

Design circuit boards for free with KiCad. No limits, no licenses—just powerful tools. Perfect for makers, startups, and ...

A PCB does not need an analog ground plane and a digital ground plane because having them doesn’t guarantee proper operation of the analog section of the product. Instead, it should have only one ...

Other, more-complicated designs might require additional steps in the design flow. In this article, our interest is to create a garden-variety printed circuit board (PCB). To create a simple circuit ...

ECM PCB Stator Technology showcased its printed circuit board technology at Automate 2023 (May 22-25). The annual show takes place at Huntington Place Convention Center, Detroit, Mich.

Design intent and regional stackups are conveyed to the board fabricator via Xpedition Layout ODB++ output, the preferred format for flex and flex/rigid designs. A simple 10-point rigid-flex design ...
