An 8V19N408 FemtoClock NG Jitter Attenuator and Clock Synthesizer uses an RC filter in its circuit. The trace that’s connecting the resistor and capacitor is designed to carry a maximum current of ...

A frequently asked question during Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout review meetings is, “Are 50-ohm traces being used for the digital signals in this PCB layout?” Often the answer to this question ...

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 ...

For the next post in the Creating A PCB series, we’re going to continue our explorations of Eagle. In Part 1, I went over how to create a part from scratch in Eagle. In Part 2, we used this part to ...

It’s always good to get reader submissions on MbM, so thanks to Ian P for sending this one in. It’s a little “PCB ruler” that is embellished with markings to indicate trace width, a wire gauge chart ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...
