  • Electronics Design: PCB Layout

    PCB Layout After the Schematic Capture component of the Electronics Design  is complete, the logical connections for the electronics components have been determined. If the Electronics CAD package also supports it, you can add rules to guide the Printed Circuit Board Layout, also abbreviated to PCB Layout which we will use from here on.  …

  • Fine Pitch PCB

    Fine Pitch Printed Circuit Board This example is from a project coming to the end of the Proof of Concept phase. So we have done the Electronics Design and also completed the PCB Layout. I can’t tell you what it does, but you don’t really need to know in order to appreciate the technology. This…

  • Electronics Design: Schematic Capture

    Schematic Capture Schematic Capture is the process of defining the logic connections between different components in an Electronic Circuit. At the end of the process you have a diagram or Schematic of the circuit. That’s a complicated way of saying that it shows the connections between the selected components. We use Altium Designer as our…

  • Electronics Design: Component Selection

    Component Selection We have worked our way through Requirements Capture and Technology Selection. After doing some initial design work and deciding on how the circuit will work, you have to find components that you can buy on a reasonable lead time and at a reasonable price. This depends a lot on the expected production volume…

  • Electronics Design: Technology Selection

    Technology Selection Before we look at how to choose a Technology, what does Technology mean? In very general terms, Technology is understanding how stuff works and how to get it to do what you want. There is lots of different stuff available. In the case of Electronics Design this stuff is the type of Electronics…
