Jul 23, 2021 · Crosstalk happens when signals on closely routed traces unintentionally interact, potentially causing one signal to interfere with another. Imagine two conversations happening side-by-side. If the speakers are too close, they might overhear each other and get distracted.

Many of Analog Devices' RF components require controlled impedance transmission lines that will transport RF power to (or from) IC pins on the PCB. These transmission lines can be implemented on a exterior layer (top or bottom), or buried in an internal layer.

Feb 8, 2025 · One of the most challenging aspects of decoding PCB schematics is tracing the route of a signal from one component to another. Signals are represented by lines (traces) connecting components like microcontrollers, memory, and peripherals.

Feb 5, 2025 · In Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), electrical signals should be transmitted from one point to another without disruptions. In this article, we'll dive into PCB signal integrity, the common causes of signal degradation, and how you can tackle signal integrity challenges to create high-frequency PCBs!
