Laying out your custom PCB starts with strategy. A great schematic won’t save a poor layout, especially for fast signals or complex systems. Here’s a professional approach to DIY or low-volume layout: 1. Start with a block-level floorplan: Divide your circuit into sections (power, MCU, analog, RF, connectors) and place them logically.
What is Tented Via in PCB?
A tented via is a copper-plated hole fully covered by solder mask. The mask forms a thin “film” over the opening, preventing direct exposure during SMT processing. The via is still electrically functional, but its hole is closed on at least one side by solder mask. There are three typical variations: Fully tented vias – solder mask co
What is Protel Printed Circuit Board?
What is Protel Printed Circuit Board? Protel Printed Circuit Board was first released in the late 1980s and was widely used in the 1990s. It was one of the influential PCB design software at that time. It laid the foundation for many PCB design processes and basic methods still in use today. In practical applications。 Protel Printed Circuit
