Take care and have a great day! :)
The current CoVid-19 situation has many countries imposed restrictions on import and export of non-essential items. Similarly, Amazon has limited its delivery service of printed books overseas. After much deliberation, I decided it's time to go the ebook route.
After reformatting the layout of...
That's a pretty good attempt! I wrote a trilogy to my PCB-RE book collection, PCB-RE: Real-World Examples and got it published in February 2019. Your post came a bit late or I would have asked you to be one of the contributors.
You can find it on Amazon in paperback and ebook formats...
Hi Everybody!
I'm happy to announce that after almost three years from my first book, The Art of PCB Reverse Engineering, and seven months in the works, this sequel book, PCB-RE: Tools & Techniques, is now available online for order on Amazon.
This new book covers various industry practices...

Dear Friends
I have been working on PCB reverse-engineering for over 15 years and finally decided to put it into a book.
Anyone interested may visit my Facebook Page and have a look:

That's quite an achievement you have in reverse engineering a board of such complexity and pin count. I've done quite a bit of it myself for the last 15 years and have written a book on this subject which was released in Amazon on February 28 this year!
PCB reverse engineering is an...
Thanks, ArticCynda, for the link. Yep, Dave certainly did a pretty amazing job in doing a reverse engineering on the Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope.
Incidentally, someone posted a request about a year ago, requesting how to do it using the manual approach (see below thread link), which the above...
Ever heard or tried doing reverse-engineering on printed circuit boards without schematic diagrams?
You might want to go take a look at the following website for some useful information and tips:

Hi Brian
You may be right about that.
I've attached part of the schematic which I reverse-engineered just to get a better idea.
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated.
Hi Brian
Thanks for replying. Here is a photo of the board with the two ICs enlarged:
You can see the National Semiconductor logo on both ICs.
Hope to hear some good news!
Hi everyone
I am working on an old NCR ISA bus SCSI host adapter board and there are these two ICs with old National Semiconductor logo, with part numbers and date of manufacture as follows:
SP8918 W0371
SP8924 W0691
I have searched archived sites for scanned old NS data books but so...
Hi Everybody
I am writing to request some information on the video settings for a Computer Dynamics 386 SBC-SXE motherboard.
I have just replaced a legacy system which interfaces to a EL7768MS display board. I can see the display via the standard VGA output to a monitor, but I can't get a...
Hi Tom
Some manufacturers provide chip topology and PCB layout consideration information in their IC datasheets and these should be useful for your consideration.
I'm not a PCB designer so I can't advise you on the other issues that you raised. Perhaps some other in the forum can help.
Best...
