Semiconductors are the building blocks of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. This in-depth guide provides a comprehensive understanding of semiconductors' engineering principles and applications, delving into their fundamental concepts, materials, devices, manufacturing processes, and their impact on today's technology landscape.
A guide covering the full radio-frequency design workflow, starting from setting specifications and choosing topologies to matching, simulation, layout, and verification, to help antenna engineers.
Controlled impedance is the control of PCB trace impedance within specified tolerances. This article covers microstrip and stripline designs, IPC-2141A formulas, stackup selection, impedance tolerances, routing practices, and TDR testing for signal integrity.
A PCB design can be electrically correct, pass every design rule check and perform exactly as expected on an engineer's screen - and still cause significant problems when it reaches manufacturing.
A semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity falls between that of a conductor and an insulator and can be controlled by temperature, light, and impurities. This article covers semiconductor materials, doping, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.
The new Arduino UNO R4 Wi-Fi board provides built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication as well as a 12×8 LED matrix display to give makers, hobbyists, and engineers an extremely versatile prototyping tool.

This comprehensive guide will cover the basics of PCB materials, the different types of materials available, their properties, and choosing the right material for your application.
Electronic shelf labels (ESL) are connected, low-power ‘e-paper’ display devices that can replace traditional paper labels and can display text, numbers, icons, lines, barcodes and pictures. They enable retailers to automatically update individual shelf price labels from a central point across multiple stores and branches—or in certain geographic locations—at the touch of a button.
RISC-V, the groundbreaking open and customizable instruction set architecture (ISA), is transforming the world of microprocessors. Its exceptional flexibility empowers developers to craft processors precisely suited for their needs, setting it apart as the go-to choice for a diverse range of devices, from energy-efficient IoT gadgets to powerful servers.
FR4, often called "fiberglass," quietly underpins our daily lives. Think about your electronics, from smartphones to car and appliance circuit boards. FR4 is the unsung hero behind the scenes, making them work smoothly and power our modern world.
