Over the years, I've created a PCB design checklist to keep me out of trouble. I share these nuggets with my layout person as required. Allow me to share some with you. Starting out The first thing I ...
Ignore this at your own peril. The TFP401 chip has HDMI on one side and parallel RGB pins on the other. This board, however, currently has the chip rotated in a way that disadvantages the layout.
Do you do PCB design for a living? Has KiCad been just a tiny bit insufficient for your lightning-fast board routing demands? We’ve just been graced with the KiCad 9 release (blog post, there ...
This article presents a practical approach to the layout design of mixed-signal boards, discussing component placement, board layering, and ground-plane considerations.
Printed-circuit board layout is one of the last steps in the design process, but for high-speed circuits, it often proves to be one of the most critical. Many of today's high-speed amplifiers can ...
This same layout is probably also available on Samsung’s older foldables, but as we reported back when the Fold 3 launched, those devices didn’t trigger tablet UIs as often, including with Gboard.
Board Design & Layout. The Gigabyte EX58-UD4P is meant to offer value for Core i7 users, retaining some of the X58 chipset's most interesting features like 3-way SLI and CrossfireX support.
Layout is very similar, and demo boards can typically be modified from SEPIC to inverting provided the IC can also regulate on negative feedback voltage like LT3581, LT3757 etc.
