In the high frequency domain, a signal or EM wave must propagate along the transmission path with uniform characteristic impedance. Whenever an impedance mismatch or discontinuity is encountered, a ...

The SMT process is the core of the electronic assembly process, and the quality of the weld affects the overall quality of the product. For the manufacturing industry, high quality welding quality is ...

Via in pad seems to be one of the hot topics these days. It's a bit of a tough one, too. The SMT guys pretty much always say, "don't ever do it." However, with certain parts, the component ...

6. SOT-23 and SOIC packages are typically used in low-power motor drivers. Standard leaded packages, like SOIC and SOT-23 packages, are often used for low-power motor drivers (Fig. 6). To maximize the ...

A study shows how high-thermal dielectrics outperform FR-4 for bulk heat spreading, with surface-mount thermal bridges ...
