Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...

Designing your first printed circuit board doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right tools, clear steps, and some practice, you can turn your electronic ideas into reality. From schematics to ...

Without PCB layout, not much would get done. It is a ubiquitous need across industries; Industrial, consumer, military…Everywhere you look, there are chips soldered to PCBs to create a final product ...

This application note is intended to assist customers in designing products that comply with both EMI and ESD standards using Micrel’s 10/100 family of Ethernet products. The printed circuit board ...

PCB design is a critical and complex process that involves multiple stages, from conceptualization and schematic creation to layout design and final manufacturing. Credit: adobe.stock.com As ...

Choosing the right PCB components can make or break your design, affecting performance, cost, and manufacturability. Experts recommend starting with system requirements before diving into catalogs.

Considerations for dividing analog and digital blocks. Decoupling techniques. Breaking down the board layers. How best to deal with grounding. Similar to building a house, it’s essential to create a ...

When current flows through a conductor it becomes an inductor, when there is an inductor there is an electromagnetic field (EM). This can cause a variety of issues during PCB layout if you don’t plan ...

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...
