We previously discussed impedance discontinuity and signal reflection in our PCB transmission line series. Reflections occur due to impedance discontinuity.| Sierra Circuits
To reduce PCB ringing, implement a damping resistor at the source and maintain uniform trace width and spacing throughout the signal line.| Sierra Circuits
Rigid-flex PCB designs may be expensive to fabricate, but they can essentially save costs during electronic system assembly.| Sierra Circuits
Manufacturing controlled impedance PCBs requires due attention to dielectric material and trace width, height, thickness, and stack-up arrangement.| Sierra Circuits
PCB materials, dielectric constant, trace height, and width affect the controlled impedance of a transmission line.| Sierra Circuits
Signal integrity is the measurement of a signal’s quality when it propagates from the transmitter to the receiver in an electronic system.| Sierra Circuits
Sierra Circuits Canada was established in 2022 to service the PCB manufacturing and assembly needs of our Canadian and worldwide customers.| Sierra Circuits
The PCB layout stage includes setting up the design tool, board outline, import of netlist, component placement, routing, silkscreen cleanup, and DRC check.| Sierra Circuits
Understanding the operating range of frequencies is critical for decoupling capacitor placement to avoid EMI and EMC issues.| Sierra Circuits
Placement of a decoupling capacitor or bypass capacitor is critical as it provides high transient currents to an IC to reduce power ripples.| Sierra Circuits
