Does the thought of running a PCB design firm appeal to you? Maybe it’s time that you consider the steps involved in launching a company. PCBs are an integral part of IT, gaming, biotechnology, consumer and electronics, telecom, and strategic electronics industries,...

Today’s electronic devices are fast. From a manufacturer’s perspective, controlling the basic components of these devices is the key to smooth operation at all levels. Printed circuit boards play an essential role in keeping these devices running smoothly, so they...

Want to design your PCB in the most efficient way possible? Consider using a PCB design tool – it will help you depict the board in a realistic environment, so you can work on the shortcomings and identify areas of improvement. The following tools are recommended for...

Schematics are detailed electrical diagrams defining the connections, wirings, and relative placements of each component. A quick glance at a schematic can reveal the complete inner workings of the whole circuit, serving as a roadmap for troubleshooting or building a...

There was a time when electronic products consisted of a small number of components and circuit elements. Estimating production costs was fairly straightforward. After all, the fewer parts and components there are in a product, the less time-consuming and the more...

If there is any electronic appliance or device component with zero tolerance for error, it is the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). As the blueprint for your entire circuit, a faulty PCB design can render your electronic project useless or produce serious functional...

We continue to put electronic devices in testing environments that can affect the printed circuit board in their hardware. This could cause a range of issues in the PCB. For instance, a constantly moving device will carry a lot of pressure to the PCB and cause...

Electromagnetic interference or EMI occurs when an electrical circuit experiences a disruption in performance due to induction, electrostatic coupling, or conduction on a PCB. Essentially, electromagnetic interference is caused by an external source and may include...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has been plaguing PCB designers since forever. EMI is electromagnetic energy that disrupts an electronic device’s signaling via induction or radiation. Too much EMI can result in a damaged or defective item. EMI radiations from a...

Actuators and sensors are two vital components of embedded and electronic systems. Actuators form a link with the output ports while sensors connect to the input ports of a given system. These components are used to facilitate efficient output in many real-life...

Most electronics startups find the conventional ways of sourcing PCBs to be cumbersome due to costly, slow, and error-prone processes. Fortunately, the option of turnkey PCB assembly is now available to businesses that would like to receive circuit boards for products...

Defects and component malfunctions are common occurrences in the PCB industry. Circuit boards may exhibit different behavior than expected due to improper soldering or placement of components, damage due to overheating, and more. Such behavior can cause the circuit to...
