Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on where ...

A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

This FAQ outlines the technical methods used to identify and mitigate mismatches across the physical, mechanical, and circuit ...

February 13, 2014. Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced the E5063A PCB Analyzer for printed-circuit-board impedance test in manufacturing. The solution offers technology breakthroughs in accuracy ...

All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

A Zobel is an impedance matching circuit often used with loudspeakers. A Zobel circuit is also known as a Boucherot cell or somewhat incorrectly as an RC snubber. The nominal impedance of a ...

The systems have increased test throughput by up to 75% over the original testers. Also, result reporting is easier thanks to a compact database that stores all test data. Lifeline Systems provides ...

In-circuit test (ICT) systems have been the leaders in using electrical means to look for structural defects in PCBs. They employ bed-of-nails fixtures to provide electrical access to as many as 7000 ...
