When is a short not really a short?
If the board is powered off, then your 3.3V, 1.8V, and ground rails will all be connected by the protection diodes in your ICs. That doesn't mean there's a short! On many multimeters, the continuity c …

Original motherboard component + redesigned PCB = Well working?
Redesigning a PC motherboard would take vastly more time and money than just buying a new laptop. The board has many layers and hundreds (if not thousands) of traces. You will not be able to figure ou …

Can I use LEDs without PCB?
Related: What is the purpose of star pcb?
At the very least, running them without a heat sink would degrade their operating life. You can buy cheap bare star PCBs off of eBay. … If you design your own PCB, you can add a thermal pad connected to a ground plane. That won't work as well as a star PCB since star PCBs have an aluminum substrate. …

How do I get VCC and GND pins on a PCB using an Eagle schematic?
If you want VCC and ground pins, you need to add components for those. The VCC and GND symbols you have are ports. Any pins connected to VCC are considered connected to each other, and the same goes f …

Is it always possible to reduce the number of layers on a PCB by making the board larger
Henry Ott suggests five EMC-related objectives that a board design should try to achieve. They are:
A signal layer should always be adjacent to a plane.
Signal layers should be close to their …

If RF signals require matched impedance to remove reflections, why do approaches to shunt no...
External noise would be reflected. That's fine; the goal is to keep it out of the IC. The bypass capacitors you put next to ICs are there to provide a clean DC supply voltage. Impedance matching would …
