PCB: la larghezza delle piste

By in Online courses, Tips of the day Tag ,

Sono molti i fattori che influenzano la larghezza delle piste quando si disegna un PCB. Uno dei più ovvi è quello della massima corrente che quella particolare traccia dovrà sopportare, ma non è l’unico.

Molto dipende infatti dall’applicazione, cioè se si stratta di una porzione di circuito per segnali RF o digitali ad esempio. Anche trattandosi di segnali RF dovremo capire se i segnali saranno a frequenze sufficientemente alte da dovere considerare quel tratto di rame come un circuito a costanti distribuite.

Ma non finisce qui, sono tanti altri i fattori di cui un progettista / disegnatore di circuiti stampati deve tenere conto. Nel video qui sotto te ne raccontiamo un po’, abbastanza per farti fare un bel salto in avanti la prossima volta che dovrai realizzare un PCB.

Come avrai intuito, realizzare dei buoni PCB richiede conoscenze approfondite di elettronica e tanta esperienza.

Molto di questo lo trovi nel nostro video corso PCB Maker Pro, l’unico corso sul disegno di PCB che ti propone tante video lezioni in cui si sviluppa un vero progetto, uno dei nostri, e non dei semplici esercizi fini a se stessi.

FT-767GX with SDR panadapter

By in Radio accessories Tag ,

Our buffer interface named IFace can be used to add an SDR panadapter to the Yaesu FT-767GX.

The operations to be carried out are very simple, it is sufficient to obtain from its wiring diagram the information on the points where the IF signal has to be taken. This radio uses more than one mixer. The IF frequency of the first one is 45.03 MHz and our SDR panadapter will be tuned to this. The following image shows the block diagram of the radio and where to get the IF signal.

The following images show the portions of the schematic diagram of the RF UNIT where we can see the exact points where to sample the IF signal, the PTT+ (active high) and the power supply.

We now proceed to identify the exact points on the printed circuit board where to take the IF signal to be sent to the IFace. The following images show the sampling point for the IF signal, for the PTT+, and for the power supply for the buffer interface.

The use of PTT signal is required because some circuitry is shared between the TX and the RX signal paths.

In order to buy an IFace use the buttons below.

ATTENTION: Though installing the IFace is not difficult, you do this at your own risk. TSP S.r.l. is not responsible for any damage, unwanted side-effects or whatever.
