Testing printed circuit board assembly requires a boundary scan test. Learn how to test PCBA chipsets using an in-circuit tester and boundary scan analyzer.
Flex PCB, as the name suggests, is a type of printed circuit board that is designed to be flexible and bendable. It consists of a thin layer of conductive traces and insulating layers, which are made of polyimide or polyester films that are capable of bending and flexing without damaging th...
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) appear in virtually every electronic device. At the same time, it seems they may break due to a variety of PCB failure reasons. Below, we’ll take a look at some common PCB failure reasons and how advanced software tools like OrCAD X can help identify or ...
Get an overview of the PCB manufacturing process. Learn how printed circuit boards are made and the key steps involved on AdvancedPCB’s blog.
6 Layer Flexible PCB Design and Manufacturing: A Comprehensive Guide PCB/IC Package Design Tools: A Comprehensive Guide Laser Depaneling PCB: How to Depanelize Round Ceramic PCB How to Reduce and Remove Noise In Analog Signals From Your PCB ...
Contamination can result in different issues. These include degradation, metallization,corrosion, and a quick deterioration. Though the processing and assembly of a PCB usually occurs in a very neat environment (environmental factors) that are designed to ensure that the components are free from any ...
Soft soldering is a technique used to join wires, fix electronic components onto circuit boards and bond copper pipes together. This tutorial shows you how to solder step by step.
There are signs that printed circuit boards are being designed with increasing frequency. As data rates continue to increase, the bandwidth required for data transmission also pushes the signal frequency ceiling to 1GHz or higher. This high frequency signal technology, although far beyond the millimete...
Printed circuit boards are designed in a specialized EDA (Electronic Design Automation) or a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) system that further generate board manufacturing data based on which circuit board fabrications are commenced. PCB manufacturers won't fully understand all details of a PCB design...
