    sorry dont like it

    Hi dude To be fair, the post counts for all users were actually a lot higher than they should have been. On the previous platform I do not think Gulson ever re-synced the post counts, I think mine has dropped to 345 or something and I must have posted 1,000's over the years. But it is just a...

    sorry dont like it

    Hi Everyone Gulson, it is a great job you have done. Considering the amount of users on EDAB and the small amount of comments here, I would say it is a success. The forum is not any faster or slower than before, or for me anyway. Blogs If you don't like them, don't use them. Some people...

    Advertisements hidden in posts on EDABoard

    Dear users It seem some user have been making use of EDABoard for marketing and sale purposes by "stealth" and that makes me a little frustrated. To be clear We have only one category where advertisement is allowed. Business, Promotions, Advertising https://www.edaboard.com/forums/43/ Now...

    SATA PCB layouts in GERBER, PDF or any CAD software

    Re: SATA Layouts needed Depending on the substrate used, the surface is not always even, so choice of pre-preg can be quite important especially if you are using very thin distances between the trace and ref plane and also chane on Er and V depends on length of tracks you route also. :F.

    SATA PCB layouts in GERBER, PDF or any CAD software

    Re: SATA Layouts needed I was going to list a few but please use these terms and type into google There are ones from intel and also some from Xilinx and Altera in those results. All are based on specific stackups and your most critical choices will be materials for your substrates and...

    cell phone jammer circuit diagram, ideas

    d-i-y gsm signal jammer scheme What is even more amusing is the amount of users who are posting from the SAME IP address. To be clear to any users, yes your IP is recorded for every post and this can be seen by any moderator who can easy check by one mouse click how many other users post from...

    Tuner Placement & Routing

    If you are mounting a silicon tuner onto the main PCB you will need to let us know what frequencies it will cover and what PCB materials and stackup will be used. Dropping thickness between route layer and gnd plane will reduce track widths, but you should try and do this around a core instead...

    3.3V and 5V connection for HDMI interface

    Re: HDMI interface You can get cost from Mouser from general idea. Remember the HDMI spec ask you be able to drive I2C and CEC over a long cable so it is not just level shift and ESD. So far I have not seen any true single chip solution, even on existing multimedia devices due to the low...

    3.3V and 5V connection for HDMI interface

    Re: HDMI interface You will need to use an interface IC. For ESD and for level shifting. Have a look at IC from California Micro Devices available from Mouser to meet HDMI spec. :F

    PCB software with the best libraries

    Re: Best libraries Annoying, no, but it is the total foundation of your design and logically the most important process. Do you really wan't to trust your design on other peoples parts ? :F

    PCB software with the best libraries

    Re: Best libraries Hi You will never get what you want. Library creation is part of the design process, so its a practice you will need to get used to I am afraid. :F

    Question about layout / placement of crystal

    Is it not an option to use a SMT Oscillator instead? I assume the bottom 2 pins on right is the IC OSC pins and the tap on the xtal going to the upper row pins is designed for some other purpose. Optimise your layout around the OSC pins first then route from the XO pin to wherever you are...

    FYI: OrCAD library sharing group

    footprint library orcad I started reading this thread but after seeing the complete frenzied postings I am inclined to stop this thread. Its already a mess and becoming even more so very quickly. If you are going to collect libraries then really you need to apply some order to it. IF you...

    PCB house recommendation please.

    After working in many countries with different pcb vendors and doing audits I can tell you for sure that there is good and bad everywhere and to pick on certain suppliers as being "shabby" based purely on geographical location is pure nonsense. National pride is one thing, but when the...
