Stacking dies will dramatically improve performance, but it’s still a work in progress.

In this informative video, learn how to make a USB soldering iron at home. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or just looking to ...

In the solder paste process (SMT), the minimum safe distance between the SMD pads and the inline pads is recommended to be 0.4mm to 1mm. this distance effectively prevents solder paste bridging, ...

Abstract: In this paper, an integrated circuit (IC) solder joint inspection algorithm is proposed based on an adaptive-template method. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to utilize ...

A buck converter is a DC-DC power device that efficiently steps down a voltage to a lower level. It uses an inductor, resistors, and a capacitor to regulate the output, making it particularly suitable ...

Abstract: Defect inspection of integrated circuits (ICs) solder joints is a long-standing task. This paper proposes a novel IC solder joint inspection method based on the idea of robust principle ...

TDK has created a range of surface-mount high-current common-mode chokes. “Customers who prefer reflow soldering but need high-current common-mode chokes can now get an SMD solution,” according to the ...

When you are troubleshooting, it is sometimes useful to disconnect a part of your circuit to see what happens. If your new PCB isn’t perfect, you might also need to add some extra wires or components ...

Taiwan-based Shenmao Technology, the world's third-largest solder material maker, established a joint research center with National Central University (NCU). The new facility will focus on fostering ...

We at Circuitdigest have worked on a lot of PCB projects, but have consistently faced a challenge during the assembly process. Specifically, when working with SMD components, the use of solder paste ...

In our previous article on Ball Grid Arrays (BGAs), we explored how to design circuit boards and how to route the signals coming out of a BGA package. But designing a board is one thing – soldering ...
