A 100-foot (approximately 30.5 meters) section in the figure shown is measured to determine L and C. The section is found to have an inductance of 25 mH and a capacitance of 1000 pF. Find the ...

The basic design rules for power distribution networks (PDN) teach us that the best performance is obtained from a uniform, frequency independent (or flat) impedance profile. This is one reason that ...

Normally when a spiral shield is used on a cable it is for one of three reasons, increased flexibility, ease of termination, or reduced manufacturing costs. Let's consider the differences between a ...

High-speed circuit design is one of the most fundamental, yet challenging areas of electronics design. High-speed circuits are commonly used today, as standards like USB, HDMI, and PCIe require most ...

As you probably know if you've been shopping for cables, coax for most video applications is "75 ohm" coax–but what the heck does that mean, anyway? This article is a short, non-technical explanation ...

When you first start out in the PCB layout game and know just enough to be dangerous, you simply plop down a connector, run a trace or two, and call it a hack. As you learn more about the finer points ...
