Engineering teams can achieve AI-ready design data with five-level maturity model by Keysight. The unified, traceable data accelerates design cycles, boosts IP reuse, and reduces costly re-spins.
Source transformation is the method of converting a voltage source with series resistance into an equivalent current source with parallel resistance (and vice versa). This guide explains the theory, math, circuit examples, and practical applications for modern digital and hardware engineers.
Resistors are the quiet regulators of electronic circuits. They shape current, set voltages, bias transistors, protect components, and stabilize signals. This article breaks down the physics of resistance, explores modern resistor technologies, and offers practical guidance.
Many beginners may be confused about the Solder Mask Layer and Paste Mask Layer because they share some similarities. In this article, we will introduce the differences between solder masks and paste masks, enabling beginners to gain a better understanding.
Ground is the reference point that makes voltage meaningful and the return path that allows current to flow. This article explains what is ground in a circuit, discusses different types of grounds, and shows how to implement effective grounding strategies
Electronic product development is a highly iterative process that involves going back and forth between the design and manufacturing stages. Cloud Manufacturing Services make it possible for engineers to focus on innovation.
PCBA prototyping establishes design feasibility and future manufacturability. Here are tried and true strategies to lower costs and effort to save time on your next PCBA prototype.
Researchers at Texas A&M University are seeking to implement a new method of manufacturing 3D nanostructured surfaces consisting of multiple materials by using a high-throughput, high-precision technique.
Logistics companies can manage their supply chains and respond to issues more efficiently when they have a clear and continuous view of the location of assets carried by containers and pallets. Asset tracking enables them to have this. And it goes beyond mere logistics.
For the second consecutive year, we have compiled a list of Campus companies that Eindhoven, the Netherlands and the world will hear more about in 2022. This year, we’re focusing on companies created in High Tech Campus’s startup ecosystem, or that landed on the Campus during 2021.
