Many readers are certainly familiar with the process for home-etching of PCBs: it’s considered very straightforward, if a little involved, today. This was not the case in my youth, when I first ...

Multi-layered printed circuit boards (PCBs) are typically preferred because they offer high signal intensity. Of all the multi-layered types, the 2-layer PCB is the most common, as it can accommodate ...

Every switch-mode power supply presents a wide-band noise source. Integrating a DC/DC converter from the car board net into an automotive control unit and still fulfilling the EMC requirements of ...

This paper presents Faraday Technology's structured ASIC platform solution for developing networking system-on-chips which have gigabit-per-second layer 4-7 throughput. The platform architecture is ...

Part 3 of this series on PC board design for low EMI discussed partitioning and why that’s important to keep “noisy” signal fields from cross-coupling to “quiet” signal fields within the board’s ...

What is software defined radio (SDR) and how does it benefit modern communications and RF applications? RF/microwave PCB design for Radar and SDRs. Challenges of SDR PCB design and ways to overcome ...
