If you want to learn Reverse Engineering you can use photoshop as aid tools. For example, This 12-keys keypad failed after years of daily use. No schematic or replacement parts from the original manufacturer. The only option was to replace it with an off-the-shelf telephone-style keyboard.Following the maze of each and every PCB track in […]

How To Reliably Protect CMOS Circuits Against Power Supply Overvoltaging

June 04, 2008 By: admin Category: Tutorial No Comments →

By Mike Byrne INTRODUCTION All IC processes have an intrinsic breakdown voltage associated wlth them. and this results in a maximum voltage stress which can be applied to any device fabricated on that process. Aa a result, all IC manufacturers give an Absolute Maximum Ratings specification for their devices. This generally gives the maximum voltage […]

Soldering is an electronics process join together two or more metal by melting and flowing a filler metal (having a relatively low melting point) into the joint. In other words, you use a metal that has a low melting point to adhere the surfaces to be soldered together. The filler metal used in the process […]
