As a general rule, when a design’s speed rises to more than a few hundred megahertz, it requires a PCB (printed-circuit board) with four or more layers. The only exception occurs when the design uses ...

Microstrip transmission lines are widely used, providing compact and lightweight electronic circuits that are readily adaptable to hybrid and monolithic integrated-circuit (IC) fabrication technology.

Designing high-speed PCBs. Maintaining signal integrity for faster signal transmission. Reducing crosstalk in high-speed PCBs. Vigorous competition in the electronics market means developers must keep ...

A bandpass allows a certain electrical signal to pass while filtering out undesirable frequencies. In a speaker bandpass, the mid-range speaker doesn’t receive tones meant for the tweeter or woofer.

Electronics design engineers from award winning consultancy ByteSnap have looked at some of the most useful free electronic design software currently available. Here, they recommend 13 useful free ...
