PCB design: the benefits of laying the floor under the clock crystal on the single board

Matters needing attention in the design of the clock on the circuit board are mainly considered from three aspects. 1. PCB layout 1) the clock crystal and related circuits should be arranged in the center of the PCB with a good stratum, not near the I/O interface. The clock generation circuit can not be made […]

Is the PCB designed to withstand the current of 100 A?

Generally, the design current of PCB will not exceed 10A or even 5A. Especially in household and consumer electronics, the continuous working current on PCB usually does not exceed 2A. Recently, however, the company’s products should be designed with a power line, and the continuous current can reach about 80A. Considering the instantaneous current and […]

How many hidden dangers of PCB welding are buried in the design stage?

Today, from the perspective of soldering, let’s talk about what points should be paid attention to when designing PCB. 1. Factors affecting PCB welding quality From PCB design to the completion of all components welding, to become a high-quality circuit board requires the control of PCB engineers, welding process, welding workers and many other links. […]

Detailed explanation of phosphor copper balls in PCB design

With the rapid development of electronic information technology, the manufacturing requirements of various circuit boards have increased greatly. As the key raw material of anodizing in electroplating process, the demand of copper is greatly increased, and the high-precision PCB must be anodized with phosphor copper balls. Phosphor copper balls are mainly used in electronic devices […]

What are the characteristics and application scope of aluminum PCB substrate?

The aluminum substrate is a low-alloy Al-Mg-Si high-plasticity alloy plate, which has good thermal conductivity, electrical insulation and machinability. Compared with the traditional FR-4, the aluminum substrate has the same thickness and the same line width, and can carry higher current. The aluminum substrate has a withstand voltage of 4,500 V and a thermal conductivity […]

How to reduce the surface tension and viscosity in PCBA welding

Viscosity and surface tension are important properties of solder. Excellent solder should have low viscosity and surface tension when melted. Surface tension is the nature of matter, which cannot be eliminated, but can be changed. The main measures to reduce the surface tension and viscosity in PCBA welding are as follows. ① Increase the temperature. […]

Transient conductivity resistance of PCB and electromagnetic radiation resistance of PCB

The purpose of this test is to verify the resistance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) caused by the approach or contact of objects or people or devices. Or people’s interior can accumulate electrostatic charges higher than 15kv voltage. Experience shows that many unexplained failures and damages are probably caused by ESD. Through discharging from the ESD […]

Hardware structure design of numerical control device on PCB

Numerical control device is the core of the whole numerical control system, and its hardware structure can be divided into big plate structure and functional module structure according to the plug-in mode of PCB in CNC device. (1) CNC device with large plate structure can be composed of main circuit board, position control board, PLC […]

PCB design: precautions for manufacturing in additive process

Although I am not a professional PCB designer, I would like to share what made in additive process means to PCB designers, especially the relationship with solder resist. Here are some important factors that I think designers need to consider. 1. Definition of solder resist Essentially, any definition provided by EDA tools is incorrect; The […]

Component placement strategy in multilayer PCB system

There is a limit to how many circuits can be installed on a board. For the sake of manufacturing equipment and standard panel size, PCB itself has an upper size limit. The number of transistors on a device continues to expand, while resistors and capacitors almost disappear to the naked eye. Even with all integration […]
