1. The overlap of the welding plates. a. The overlap of welding plates means the holes are overlapped, when multiple drilling happens to one position, it would result in the damage of hole. b. Overlap of two holes in a multi-layer board will cause it scrapped. 2. The abuse of graphics layer. a. Doing some useless connection in the graphics layer is easily misunderstood, for example, a design for 4 layer PCB uses the circuit of 5 layer PCB or even above. b. In violation of conventional design, such as, the side of electronic parts is designed at the Bottom layer, and the welding side is designed at the Top layer, these all will cause troubles. 3. The characters are in a mess.

The basic principle for the whole process of PCB design is: make the whole design beautiful as much as possible on the basis of following the requirements of product electrical and mechanical structure, keep the layout of electronic parts uniform and orderly in the printed circuit board. Here are the items and tips you should check:

1. PCB size must be consistent with the size of processing drawings and follow the PCB manufacturing requirements.
2. Check if the electronic components are conflicting in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces.
3. Is the distribution of electronic components in a well-organized, neat manner?
4. Is it easy to replace the components that are frequently replaced? Is the plug-in

1. Avoid the input end getting too close to the output end, especially in the case of high gain. For the following reasons: 1) When it is a positive amplifier, being too close would generate the parasitic capacitance - positive feedback loop – then cause the shock; this shock is independent of the input signal, that is, it could happen without input. The frequency of this shock depends on the circuit structure and parasitic capacitance and other factors, most of the time it’s over 1MHz. However, with the changes of parasitic capacitance, what would be caused is not only the circuit shock, sometimes the situation of work instability and deterioration would happen. 2) When it’s the opposite amplifier, the Miller effect is generated, which would cause the deterioration

Panelizing is common used in the PCB board’s production for it can get more value in a low cost. For some customers, the size of single boards can’t properly used on their project so they need a bigger size. That’s the main reason for customer choose panelizing service, here is an introduction of panelizing service of Elecrow. We have two ways of panelizing, one is V-cut and the other is snap off holes. For V-cut, the minimum size of board is 8*8cm. V-cut is a straight and uninterrupted line, the mini spacing between 2 V-cut line is 2mm, and different thickness has different request. For 1.6mm thickness boards, V-cut line must has 1mm spacing with the edge of boards; for 1.0mm thickness should be 0.7mm. Customer can add the V-cut line in the GKO layer or the silkscreen

There are a lot of products sell on Tindie and cooperated with Elecrow. Here I would like to recommend several tindie top seller products. The first seller is Raj, the owner of Embedded Lab Store. The designer Raj cooperate with Elecrow since 2013 and we have a wonderful cooperation. And a big thanks that Raj recommend us on his blog at the end of last year. The Easy Pulse is a DIY pulse sensor that is designed for hobbyist and educational applications to illustrate the principle of photoplethysmography (PPG) as a non-invasive technique for detecting the cardio-vascular pulse wave is that we used the DS202-

With the development of the smart phone, the hardware configuration of the phone is continual upgrading that the CPU upgraded from dual-core to ten-core and the RAM now has up to 8GB. The currently new generation of Raspberry Pi is 3B+, which equipped with 1.2GHz, quad-crow and 1GB RAM. In comparison, both based on Linux and adopted ARM architecture, but the configuration of Raspberry Pi 3 is significantly lower than the phone. Why the difference between both so great? Google recently announced a partnership with raspberry pi to launch Raspberry Pi 4. It seems that the configuration of Raspberry Pi 4 should have eight-core, with above 2GHz, with 4GB RAM supported DDR4L. Besides, the Raspberry Pi 2/3B supports the android

To enrich the cultural life of our company and improve the physical quality of staff, we are organized a gym activities. We will gather together to do radio gymnastic exercised whenever the music ring. The daily exercise time is arranged in the afternoon. “Sometimes the supervisors can share their thoughts particular with the staff.” the boss said. So our company will have a staff sharing communication which sharing the joke, life fun and story, etc before exercise in a limited time. At the same time, you can share your story with us, we are very pleased that. When I first taken part in it, I feel confused because I was unfamiliar with the movement of radio gymnastic exercised, at that time, I believe that most people have the same feelings as me. Gradually we learned how

• The timestamp on your order of the 12h rush service must be before 2PM Beijing Time to qualify. An order placed at 2PM and later will be considered to the next business day. Similarly, the 24h rush service will be put off the next business day when the order is placed at 6PM or later. The time used is the timestamp on your order, which will be showed once your order is placed. Besides, the 12h rush service is not included stencil and ENIG technology. But the ENIG is available in the
