While for some of us it’s a distant memory, every serious electronics hobbyist must at some point make the leap from working with through-hole components to Surface Mount Devices (SMD). At first ...

Surface mount devices have gotten really small, so small that a poorly timed sneeze can send your 0603 and 0402 parts off to live with the dust motes lurking at the edge of your bench. While soldering ...

How to treat sub-milliohm chips as a separate class of component. Strategies to avoid pitfalls during component selection and PCB layout design. Uncover opportunities ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of blinking lights, on its output we get a digital signal that we can use to turn on and off an external light like an led or relay for bigger loads.
