Category:PCB PCB Layout
The connections on a PCB should be identical to its corresponding circuit diagram, but while the circuit diagram is arranged to be readable, the PCB layout is arranged to be functional, so there is rarely any visible correlation.
I always use 'mil' unit in Altium and Orcad, so when comes from Kicad, the first thing I do is looking for place to change the default unit to 'mil'. But I found that the unit can be switching between...(view more)

In PCB layout, we use missing thermal to mark all GND via. Now, I had almost applied DCR.But missing thermal has been found on all of my GND vias. The software I use is CSiEDA 5.4 SE. Is it associated...(view more)
Usually we make the return paths with nearest GND plane. What will happen if the signal return path on power planes?(view more)
When I making a PCB layout of my double sided PCB with components on sides, he component clearances made me mad. It reposts that components are too close even if they are on different sides. Any advic...(view more)
I am currently routing a 4 layers PCB and thinking how to connect the ground and power planes to the connector and components that need them.(view more)
I have some SMD components,but do you know the best way to connect them to ground plane?How about ground plane on both top and bottom with many vias connecting the two?(view more)
Can you please tell me the method to laminate?And what's the meanning of L/S?(view more)
There is a high current path in my PCB design from relay to output connector,that current rating is 15 to 20,amps max and voltage is 230 volt.How can I route the trace and what should I pay attention ...(view more)
