Designing a Power Distribution Network (PDN) is a critical aspect of printed circuit board (PCB) design, especially for high-performance and high-speed applications. A well-designed PDN ensures that all components on the PCB receive stable and reliable power, minimizing voltage drops and noise. Here are some key considerations and concepts required to PDN design: Power Integrity […]
The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, or Proposition 65, implemented in 1986, was based on protecting California people from potentially risky chemicals and toxins produced by various products. Hence, it makes businesses offer caution with their products if they contain substances under the Prop 65 candidate list. Understanding the Proposition 65 Substance List […]
When observing a PCB layout, a common question arises: why is it common to observe components positioned at angles multiples of 90 degrees? Generally, one will notice components with orthogonal rotations in a PCB layout, with axes predominantly aligned parallel or perpendicular. These phenomena can be attributed to several intriguing factors, some of which remain […]
