As part of an aggressive expansion program, the company adds controlled-impedance capabilities to its arsenal of design resources with the installation of a Burkle 6-opening vacuum press, Polar TDR ...

A common joke in electronics is that every piece of wire and PCB trace is an antenna, with the only difference being whether this was intentional or not. In practical terms, low-frequency wiring is ...

The systems have increased test throughput by up to 75% over the original testers. Also, result reporting is easier thanks to a compact database that stores all test data. Lifeline Systems provides ...

Join us on Wednesday, September 25 at noon Pacific for the High-Speed PCB Design Hack Chat with Bil Herd! Printed circuits have become so commoditized that we seldom think much about design details.

This article introduces the basic concept of PXI-Express (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation-Express) and studies the key considerations for modular hardware PCB layout design to achieve PXI-Express ...

A Zobel is an impedance matching circuit often used with loudspeakers. A Zobel circuit is also known as a Boucherot cell or somewhat incorrectly as an RC snubber. The nominal impedance of a ...
