The process of data acquisition is known as signal processing. This acquisition is done by an instrument which is known as the signal conditioner. There is a conversion of signals that happened in this process. The signal conditioner converts the signal from one form such as electrical or mechanical to another form. The input signal is converted into the output signal in the signal conditioning process. Now the question may arise why do we need to convert the input signal into an output signal? The simple answer is that the signal needs to be amplified. This amplification helps the signal to ...
Can you imagine yourself all dressed up, but you have no place to go? Well, that's awkward because we all need to do something but for a reason. And that reason should be enough strong that could stop us not to distracted by other various factors. The same happens to the engineer in the circuit board design. Sometimes, an engineer would do a mistake. What's that mistake? He would probably be all dressed up, but he would not pay attention to the end goal. Instead, he would get distracted by other external factors and end up with nothing. And as ...
What is BGA (ball grid array)? Ball grid array (BGA) is used in integrated circuits for circuit mount packaging. Ball grid arrays are used when we need to mount the devices permanently such as mini processors. The connections are made on the bottom of the SMD ball grid arrays. A solder ball is present on every single pin. A uniform circuit for the grid is also made on the circuit for better connection. The size of this grid varies from 1.27mm to 1.0mm. Although there are hundreds and thousands of component connections present on each layer, the number of routable pins ...
How many times in a day did you catch yourself using an electronic device? Have you ever opened an old electronic device such as a remote or an LCD? If so, then you must have seen that green board (maybe red or blue) having many components on it. That is nothing but a printed circuit board [1] (PCB). Because you can find them in almost every modern electronic device. PCBs are present in complex devices such as remote, TVs, LCDs, etc. The purpose of introducing PCB’s were to make these electronic devices smaller. Printed circuit boards are designed in various layers ...
[caption id="attachment_704" align="alignleft" width="300"] [1] PC Board Fabrication[/caption] If you have seen printed circuit boards (well, I am sure you have seen one) then you must wonder how they are made and how they are managing your electrical devices. Nowadays, a multiple-layer printed circuit board is managing the most critical electronic devices. From your laptop to your phone and other devices are relying completely on printed circuit boards. Printed circuit boards may seem uninteresting to you but once you get deep into it, it's an interesting and worth knowing subject. Let's imagine, how a printed circuit board [2] is working in ...
