Q&A What are some best practices for library management?

As the others said, there is no definite answer to this. But here is how we do it: There is a global schematic library and a global footprint library. They have the components we use and have the ...

Q&A CAN BUS monitoring with a LED

I've done similar things on UART lines, but for significantly lower baudrates (9600 etc) than traditionally used on most CAN buses. It's also easier to do when you have 5V guaranteed to be well-ov...

Q&A When and where to use vias in an IC design layout

Vias are used to move up in metal layers. The contacts of the transistors can be directly connected with metal 1, but if you want to use higher metal levels, you move up to them with vias. For exa...

Q&A Can I make an AC inductor (reactor) rated 75mH 40A from a 3-phase induction motor?

An induction motor with its shaft held still will mostly look like an inductor with a series resistance electrically. However, there will be some issues: It will be difficult to guess the inducta...

Q&A Noise from oscillator on top layer to clock on bottom layer with VCC & GND layers between

What effect does an oscillator potentially have on a SPI clk signal if the oscillator is on the top layer, with GND and VCC layer in between on a four layer board. I know running it on the same lay...

Q&A Noise from oscillator on top layer to clock on bottom layer with VCC & GND layers between

It's hard to answer your specific case since you didn't label the layers in your picture, or which traces are doing what. That said, a few traces crossing each other on different layers is not muc...

Q&A Noise from oscillator on top layer to clock on bottom layer with VCC & GND layers between

What you are proposing may be okay (depending on other specifics of the design), but your proposed 4-layer PCB stack-up looks like a compromise. Clock is a high speed signal, and so is SPI dependi...

Q&A CAN BUS monitoring with a LED

You'll need a differential comparator, something like what was suggested in here. But I'd look for a proper Canbus Rx and extract that to convert to single ended one shot to pulse for activity.
