Track Width v/s Current Capacity: PCB Layout Tips for Power Routing
In the intricate art of PCB design, power routing is the unsung hero carrying the current that breathes life into circuits. While signal traces get all the attention for their impedance matching and noise control, power tracks quietly shoulder the responsibility of delivering current without frying themselves or the components they feed. But how wide should these tracks be? That's where the relationship between track width and current capacity comes into play. If you think 0.1mm tracks are enough for ......

The Definitive Guide to Bypass Capacitor in PCB Layout
Every printed circuit board (PCB) designer, whether an experienced engineer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, has encountered it: unpredictable behavior from a circuit. The microcontroller that resets at random intervals, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that provides wilder and wilder readings, or the high-speed communication bus that is always full of errors. In most cases, the issue is not a faulty component or logic error, but rather a nuanced and insidious issue, a noisy power distribution networ......
