Q&A Testing instrumentation amplifier with differential signal

It is important to realize that an ECG signal is high impedance and this easily picks up line voltage E-fields. Using a 50 Ohm sig.gen. is a poor simulation of the use of this circuit and also neg...

Q&A Using arc trace routing instead of 45 degree trace routing

Olin has a great answer, I just wanted to add some of my personal experience. I only started laying out PCBs three years ago, and I use KiCad. KiCad got curved traces support in test version 5.99 o...

Q&A Using arc trace routing instead of 45 degree trace routing

The best route is a straight connection between the two points being connected. Of course that's not always possible due to other objects being in the way, or to be able to route other connections...

Q&A Using arc trace routing instead of 45 degree trace routing

Most modern CAD software for PCB design offers arc trace routing or a form of conversion between 45/90 degree angel trace routing and arc trace routing. Despite this, the overwhelming majority of c...

Q&A How Relay inrush current limiter works?

It's a current limiter, not eliminator. The current is always supposed to flow, but be limited at startup to avoid high inrush current. All the relay does is short out R103 when activated. The r...

Q&A De-bouncing input signals?

I've heard that input signals to digital circuits should be "de-bounced", at least sometimes. What is de-bouncing? Why is it needed? When is it needed? What is bouncing around in the first place?
