This article presents a practical approach to the layout design of mixed-signal boards, discussing component placement, board layering, and ground-plane considerations.

PCB Signal integrity & Stackup design. Ever more complex PCB designs require layer stackups to be considered even before you layout the design. As a designer there are now vast choices of base ...

Designing circuit boards for high speed applications requires special considerations. This you already know, but what exactly do you need to do differently from common board layout? Building on whe… ...

[Vassilis Papanikolaou] took a good thing and made it better with some design upgrades to this AVR based signal generator. We looked at version 1.0 of this tool back in 2006 and since then it saw a… ...

A PCB with a single ground plane, partitioned into analog and digital sections, and discipline in routing the signals can usually solve an otherwise difficult layout problem, without creating any ...

One of the most important aspects to consider in hardware testing that involves radio frequency (RF) is choosing a configurable, calibrated, and reliable signal source. This article provides a ...

Arduino has taken the product “maker” world by storm and one of the more popular Arduino modules is the Analog Devices AD9851 DDS waveform generator. An Internet Web search for “Arduino DDS” showed ...

Keysight’s new M9484C VXG signal generator enables customers to reduce test system setup complexity and achieve accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument.
