    Sep 20,2024

        Single sided PCB circuit board, also known as single panel, is a common type of printed circuit board.  A single-sided PCB circuit board typically consists of a substrate and a layer of copper foil. The substrate generally uses insulating materials such as glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin to provide support and insulation for the circuit. Copper foil is used to form circuit patterns through etching and other processes, achieving connections between electronic components.  The production of single panels is relatively simple and cost-effective. In terms of design, since only one side can be wired, the circuit layout needs to be more carefully planned. Usually, components are concentrated on one side, while the other side is mainly used for welding. This layout makes single panels widely used in some simple electronic devices, such as small appliances, toys, and simple electronic instruments.  One of the advantages of single-sided PCB circuit boards is their ease of production and

        After the entire circuit board design is completed, the PCB circuit board needs to be SMT mounted with components. Each SMT processing factory will determine the most suitable size for the circuit board according to the processing requirements of the assembly line. For example, if the size is too small or too large, the fixtures that fix the circuit board on the assembly line cannot be fixed. So the question is, what if the size of our circuit board itself is smaller than the size specified by the factory? That means we need to assemble the circuit boards together, combining multiple circuit boards into a single piece. Splicing can significantly improve efficiency for both high-speed surface mount machines and wave soldering.  It is easy to separate multiple boards during assembly to avoid damaging the circuit board during separation. Determine which assembly method to use based on the shape of the single type of board you are assembling. The main ways of PCB layout are V-CUT, punc

    Sep 12,2024

        PCB (Printed Circuit Board) vias are a crucial step in PCB design.  From the basic concept of via, it is mainly used to connect electrical connections between different layers of PCB. In multi-layer PCB design, signals need to be transmitted between different signal layers, and vias provide such a channel. Vias usually consist of three parts, namely the hole, the pads around the hole, and the plating layer in the middle. The size of the hole directly affects the production process and cost of the via hole. Generally speaking, the common via hole diameter is between 0.2-0.6mm.  When designing through holes, multiple factors need to be considered. From the perspective of signal integrity, the parasitic capacitance and inductance of vias have a significant impact on the transmission of high-speed signals. Parasitic capacitance can cause the rising and falling edges of a signal to slow down, thereby affecting the timing of the signal. Parasitic inductance may generate spike voltage dur

    How to install RF circuits and digital circuits on a PCB board

    Aug 29,2024

        If analog circuits (RF) and digital circuits (microcontrollers) work separately, they may work well on their own, but once they are placed on the same circuit board and powered by the same power source, the entire system is likely to become unstable. This is mainly due to the frequent oscillation of digital signals between ground and positive power supply (3 V in size), and the period is particularly short, often at the ns level. Due to their large amplitude and small switching time, these digital signals contain a large number of high-frequency components that are independent of the switching frequency. In the simulation part, the signal transmitted from the antenna tuning loop to the wireless device receiving part is generally less than 1 μ V. Therefore, the difference between digital signals and RF signals will reach 10-6 (120 dB). Obviously, if digital signals cannot be well separated from radio frequency signals, weak radio frequency signals may be damaged, which can deteriora
