Signal integrity (SI) refers to the quality of the signal on the signal line, that is, the ability of the signal to respond with the correct timing and voltage in the circuit. If the signal in the circuit can reach the receiver with the required timing, duration and voltage amplitude, then it can be determined that the circuit has better signal integrity. Conversely, when the signal does not respond properly, a signal integrity problem occurs.With the use of high-speed devices and more and more ...

By Hesam Moshiri, Anson BaoLM317 is one of the most popular adjustable regulator chips. The output voltage of the regulator can be adjusted from 1.25V to 35V. However, the chip can deliver currents up to 1.5A which is not enough for some power applications. In this article, I will discuss two methods of LM317 current boosting, using power PNP and NPN pass transistors.[A] Circuit AnalysisAccording to the LM317 datasheet: “The LM317 [1, 2] device is an adjustable three-terminal positive-voltage re...

1. The fault characteristics and maintenance of industrial control circuit board capacitor damageThe failure caused by capacitor damage is the highest in electronic equipment, especially the damage of the electrolytic capacitor is the most common.Capacitor damage manifests itself as: 1. capacity becomes smaller; 2. complete loss of capacity; 3. leakage; 4. short circuit.Capacitors play different roles in the circuit, and the faults they cause also have their own characteristics. In industrial co...

Impedance matchingImpedance matching means that when energy is transmitted, the load impedance must be equal to the characteristic impedance of the transmission line. At this time, there is no reflection in the transmission, which indicates that all energy is absorbed by the load. On the contrary, there is energy loss in transmission. In high-speed PCB design, the matching of impedance is related to the quality of the signal.When do PCB traces need to be impedance matched?It does not mainly look...

As a carrier of various components and a hub for circuit signal transmission, PCB has become the most important and critical part of electronic information products. The quality and reliability of the PCB determine the quality and reliability of the entire equipment. However, due to cost and technical reasons, a large number of failures have occurred during the production and application of PCBs.For this kind of failure problem, we need to use some commonly used failure analysis techniques to en...

In general, PCB stack-up design mainly follows two rules:1. Each trace layer must have an adjacent reference layer (power or ground layer);2. Maintain a minimum distance between the adjacent main power layer and the ground layer to provide a large coupling capacitance; The following is an example to explain the stack-up from two-layer board to eight-layer board:I. Stack-up of single-sided PCB boards and double-sided PCB boardsFor two-layer boards, the problem of lamination is no longer due to th...

1. Flexible application of via designFor high-voltage, high-current, high-power, and high-heat components, the layout of components should be as loose as possible when designing printed boards. The size of the component pads and the pad spacing of each solder pin can also be designed bigger. If the number of circuit components and the size of the printed board allow, you can also design some vias in the space between the pads of the components and the copper foil of the printed board according t...
