    Custom DSP Board Design

    Layout of complex boards (be it DSP or not) is a trade all by itself and will take a very long time to master properly. But chances are the manufacturer of your DSP IC will have some layout guidelines. In absence of that, you can check other DSP vendors (same principles will apply) or, per...

    Xilinx Spartan JTAG programmer recommendations

    Xilinx programmer: http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/HW-USB-II-G.htm This one is a lot cheaper http://dangerousprototypes.com/2011/12/26/dsjtag-usb-jtag-debugger-and-programmer-for-both-xilinx-and-altera-ides/ If I remember correctly, it offers less cable options but works fine...

    Altium - Layer stack up detail empty

    Hello, I wanted to place a stackup legend on my design files. It puts a nice bracket, it names the layers aaand.. that's about it. Details are filled in in the layer manager (obviously) and I enabled all options when I 'tabbed' after placing first corner. Seems I did just about everything as...

    IRF3205 burning at only 25 Amper

    Re: help! IRF3205 burning at only 25 Amper A cool heatsink can be a bad thing, especially if you expect it to get rid of quite a bit of heat. You are looking to get rid of 24W plus whathever is lost during transition (which can be quite a lot, too). So if your heatsink is not warm, that heat...

    AC to DC conversion.

    I understand, but that wouldn't work very well with his input voltage range.

    AC to DC conversion.

    On 110VAC? Better not ;) What's the reason for that broad input range? Seems a bit out of the ordinary..

    LCD module ribbon cable, How Long Can It Be ?

    That really depends on the type of display, and more importantly on the speed of the signals on it. If the length of the cable represents a delay of, say 0.1 x Frequency or more you might be in trouble, especially for flank-sensitive or asynchronous signals. Actually, the correct way of...

    LED inverter capacitor burnout

    Tantalums are notorious in terms of not liking overvoltage. Even small voltage spikes above their rating will cause it to die violently. From what I can see, this is a 35V cap, probably needs to be derated to about 25V or below. Putting a resistor in series is probably not a very good solution...
